From RGGI to the AI Boom - Navigating America's Electric Revolution with Sharon Reishus

Join Sharon Reishus for a unique inside look at how USA's first multi-state carbon credit trading market was born and why those hard-won lessons are crucial for navigating today's unprecedented electricity demand surge. As a founding board member of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and former Chairman of the Maine Public Utilities Commission, Sharon will share the story of creating the nation's first mandatory regional carbon market, from the political negotiations to the pushback from stakeholders, to set up a carbon regime that delivered millions in consumer savings over two decades and helped cut regional power plant emissions in half. But this isn't just a history lesson. With electricity demand growing at rates not seen in decades, driven by AI data centers and rapid electrification of the economy, Sharon will decode what this means for climate goals, energy costs, and grid reliability. Drawing from her 35 years of power sector expertise, she'll connect the strategic thinking that made RGGI successful to the market dynamics reshaping America's energy landscape today.
