Interconnect Conference 2024

October 2, 2024, Faculty Club Ballroom

Electrification can reduce emissions, but doing so fairly poses challenges.

Community-led projects empower local communities to plan and manage their own electrification.

Our panel will explore the opportunities and challenges of electrification, drawing on research and practical experience.
