Rapidly reducing the carbon content of utility resources while maintaining resource adequacy and grid reliability is a challenge for electric utilities across the country. Programs for demand flexibility and particularly grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) will be key to successfully integrating large amounts of renewable energy into the grid. This panel, featuring Albert Chiu (Pacific Gas & Electric Company), Jingjing Liu (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), Mark Martinez (Southern California Edison), and Brittainy Pond (Puget Sound Energy), will discuss the efforts by a number of utility leaders across the United States in deploying demand flexibility/GEBs as a central strategy for their future.

The virtual opening plenary session for Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) 2024 will feature Jigar Shah, Director of the Loans Program Office at the US Department of Energy (DOE). Mr. Shah will provide opening remarks on the extensive efforts by DOE and other federal agencies to help building owners invest in reducing carbon emissions from their properties. He will be joined by an elite panel of experts including Marc Daudon (The Caspian Group), Andy Hammons (Ryan Company), and Molly McCabe (HaydenTanner) in a discussion moderated by Ash Awad (McKinstry) about the public, private and tax credit resources that will catalyze the decarbonization of the built environment.
