PESD and project partners attended the Stanford Impact Labs’ Pathways to Social Impact Workshop on Monday, October 28^th for PESD’s “Building a Coalition for Improved Resource Adequacy Policy in a High-Renewables West” Stanford Impact Labs Stage 1 project.

Gia Anguiano and Aaron Beard from the Western Interstate Energy Board, and Dave Brown from the University of Alberta joined Meg Edison and Mark Thurber from PESD at the day-long workshop. The team joined other Stage 1 Impact Labs to investigate ways to develop sustainable pathways to scale for their projects. The PESD group discussed the important role education for regulators, state energy offices, and ratepayer advocate groups could play in resource adequacy policy across the West.

A big thank you to Stanford Impact Labs and our partners for a fun and productive workshop!
