The production of electricity has been identified as the first priority for decarbonizing energy, as such, coal stations are retiring at a rapid pace and many have been assigned retirement in the relatively near future. These stations represent a unique opportunity to achieve decarbonization goals at a faster pace by understanding the value of various classes of assets. In addition, these projects need support from distinct stakeholders groups early in the process to be successful. For the past few years in the United states, utilities, communities, states and researchers have been working together to investigate the various priorities and data needed to move these kinds of projects forward.
This session will summarize and highlight the work of each of these groups (utilities, communities, states and researchers) and share lessons learned from these early investigations.
Community/State Leaders share the unique value of these assets beyond electrons, highlighting what it means to be an energy community and how they see themselves in future energy systems.
Utilities will share how coal station fit into integrated resource plans and what they have learned in trying to decarbonize electricity production while meeting increasing energy demands.
