"The wider region is undergoing an ambitious transition to decarbonization pathways in the electric grid. It is vital that stakeholders come together to understand the grid innovation and modernization capabilities that help achieve this outcome effectively. We are glad Grid Forward is bringing people together for this important conversation."
Bill Ritter, Jr., founder and director of the Center for the New Energy Economy (CNEE) at Colorado State University and former governor of Colorado
