Community Energy: Communities Taking Charge of Energy Solutions Powering Tomorrow Podcast
-
- Education
As the electricity sector has evolved, community engagement has become particularly important. An ongoing dialogue serves to build an understanding of how energy planning happens and provides opportunities for local input - laying the foundation for successful implementation. And as technology has evolved, such as energy efficiency, energy storage and demand response, it is giving communities more choice in how they meet their energy needs. In this episode, Terry Young interviews Matthew Day, Program Manager at WR Community Energy and Tonja Leach, Executive Director of QUEST. They discuss the changes in the energy sector, especially how community preferences such as energy transition and electrification have gained in importance, and what is needed to keep the progress going.
