Several factors drive this investment\nagenda, which include: updating\/replacing old infrastructure, providing\ninfrastructure that eases the transmission of alternative power sources,\nfacilitating wholesale power market liquidity, and improving power\nreliability and energy security. Plan to join the panelists for a timely\ndiscussion of the high-voltage grid of the future.\n<p>\nSutherland is a proud sponsor of the series, which features presentations\non issues surrounding clean energy in the Southeastern United States,\nincluding the projected need for electric energy and oil and natural gas,\nand the opportunities and challenges for meeting those needs with clean\nenergy technologies. Participants can attend for free in person at the\nGeorgia Tech College of Management &#8211; LeCraw Auditorium or via Webinar.\n<\/blockquote>\nThis is what will end coal plants and biomass plants:\nclean solar on local rooftops, and clean energy through a smart electrical grid\nto export from south Georgia to Atlanta and beyond.\n<p>\n-jsq\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No new grid is needed to profit by becoming electrical generators on your own rooftops, but with a smarter grid south Georgia can export power to Atlanta and beyond.
