The Edison Foundation's Institute for Electric Innovation held a webinar, Powering the People: Customer Partnerships Driving the Future of Energy, in mid-October. There were two panels of engaging discussions. The first panel was on "100% Carbon-Free Energy Solutions," and the second panel was on "Using Tech to Engage Customers." The event featured a welcome by Edison Foundation Executive Director Adam Cooper, remarks by Edison Foundation VP Lisa Wood, and closing remarks by EEI President Tom Kuhn.

The first panel on 100% Carbon-Free Energy Solutions acknowledged that until recently, corporate customers with carbon-emission reduction goals have accounted for carbon-free energy usage on an annual basis. But this is changing as corporate customers seek to purchase carbon-free energy more closely aligned with their hourly energy use. As new carbon-free energy purchasing goals arise, how are electric companies working with customers to provide solutions? What are regulatory solutions?

This panel answered some of those tough questions put forth by Mary Kipp, moderator and CEO, Puget Sound Energy, also Co-Chair of the Institute for Electric Innovation. On the panel were NV Energy's CEO Doug Cannon, Meta's Holly Lahd, and Xcel Energy's VP Customer Solutions & Innovation, Emmett Romine.
