About our speaker:

Brenda Brickhouse is a Senior Technical Executive at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Ms. Brickhouse leads EPRI’s Equitable Decarbonization Initiative and is involved in research efforts characterizing priority sustainability issues, on the intersection of sustainability and enterprise risk management, optimizing sustainability strategy and in decision making and investments, and understanding the equity and environmental justice implications and opportunities associated with decarbonization and the clean energy transition. 

Prior to joining EPRI, Ms. Brickhouse served as Chief Sustainability Officer at the Tennessee Valley Authority and held a variety of environmental, operational and leadership roles in the utility industry and in consulting. Ms. Brickhouse received a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and Master of Public Affairs from NC State University and a Master of Energy Regulation and Law from Vermont Law School where she focused on energy justice and environmental justice.

Breanda will address the decarbonization’s economic, environmental, and societal sustainability. She will examine with us how getting to net zero carbon emissions will take an economy-wide approach.  Moreover, coupled with needing to address climate change impacts, increasing resilience can compound or confound affordability and operations.

Join us to learn about the pace of change, primary approaches, and impacts and opportunities.

This is a virtual program.

Access will be provided after your registration.
