Realizing the benefits of bringing utilities together to share their experiences, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity (OE) launched Voices of Experience to collect the experiences, insights, and lessons learned of utility representatives implementing emerging technology. Utility staff share their industry knowledge to help all utilities plan for operational challenges in this changing industry. The latest installment of its Voices of Experience initiative is on "Decarbonization Strategies and Grid Planning." No universal blueprint exists to reduce carbon in energy systems. A utility must tailor its carbon reduction plan to align with its capabilities, market, and location. The U.S. Department of Energy is sponsoring an upcoming in-person workshop that will delve into the cost implications and rate impacts of utility decarbonization.
