Climate Advocacy and Utility Partnerships
What happens when climate activists and gas utility leaders find common ground? In Massachusetts, the result has been the first-in-nation networked geothermal heating and cooling system – an innovative model for decarbonization that's now being considered by utilities and communities across the country. Zeyneb Magavi, Executive Director of HEET, and Liam Needham, Director of Customer Thermal Solutions at Eversource Energy, will share how their unlikely coalition came together, what it took to earn trust and build the Framingham pilot project, how to engage customers and community leaders, and more!
This Carsey Policy Hour is offered jointly with the New England Municipal Sustainability (NEMS) Network and the UNH Sustainability Institute.
