The Future of Energy: Energy Accessibility
Tuesday, January 19 at 4 p.m. MT
Watch the full recording

Colorado's ongoing energy transition isn't just about technology; it's also about people. Each year, tens of thousands of residents struggle to pay their electric bills or lack access to reliable energy. The cost of electricity remains a primary market driver and can greatly impact behaviors and attitudes toward energy. Yet most analyses agree that the state's robust decarbonization targets will rely on widespread adoption of newer, more efficient energy systems and/or costly retrofitting. How can policymakers, utilities, and businesses help make energy access more inclusive, and what does it truly mean to have a "just transition" for all?

On January 19, we'll discuss these topics and more with Jennifer Gremmert, Executive Director of Energy Outreach Colorado. She'll discuss her organization's work to mitigate energy costs for underserved communities in Colorado before discussing the current policy landscape and efforts underway to address this crucial area of need. We'll also answer audience questions live during a moderated Q&A session.

This free public webinar is presented by the Institute for Science & Policy and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The session will also be streamed to Facebook and YouTube.
