Clean energy is a key component to resilient infrastructure. Providing decision-makers, including stakeholders across national security, government, and infrastructure owners and operators (such as utilities) the information and tools they need to make decisions related to energy is critical to improving community resilience.

In this 90-minute stakeholder engagement session, NREL’s Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA) will present findings from their Climate Resilience Catalyzer, a cross-NREL collaborative approach to developing a clean energy and climate resilience research agenda.

We invite stakeholders to discuss our cross-lab research priorities and a subset of guiding research questions related to economics through guided discussion. We will also present opportunities we’ve identified for interested partners to collaborate with NREL to build upon our existing tools, models, and analyses, with the goal to better understand and address the economic links between clean energy and infrastructure resilience.
