Renewables-Driven Resilience
Our September Presentation: South Coast residents know that our electrical grid is vulnerable to outages caused by fire, floods, landslides, earthquakes, and more. To make our grid resilient, plans for a Community Microgrid are in the works. The Goleta Load Pocket Community Microgrid Initiative (GLPCM) calls for enough renewables-driven local power generation and storage to keep critical community facilities online in an emergency. In addition to potential solar, wind, and storage projects, learn about the transmission lines we depend on, local electrical load profiles, So Cal Edison's plans, energy generation incentives, and upgrades to our local grid called for by the initiative.
Our Speaker: Craig Lewis is the Executive Director of the Clean Coalition. He has over 30 years of experience in the renewables, wireless, semiconductor, and banking industries. Previously, he was VP of Government Relations at GreenVolts and energy policy lead on Steve Westly's 2006 California gubernatorial campaign. His resume includes senior government relations, corporate development, and marketing positions at leading wireless, semiconductor, and banking companies such as Qualcomm, Ericsson, and Barclays Bank. Craig received an MBA and MSEE from USC and a BSEE from the UC Berkeley.
