Visualizing Equitable Energy Transitions with SLOPE

Learn how you can use the free, newly enhanced State and Local Planning for Energy (SLOPE) platform to visualize decarbonization, electrification, and equitable energy transition pathways. The US Department of Energy just released the new SLOPE Scenario Planner, which visualizes scenarios for future energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and system costs of a selected state or county. SLOPE is a collaboration between nine DOE offices and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

In this Clean Energy States Alliance webinar, panelists discussed ways that state and local governments can use the Scenario Planner and SLOPE data visualizations to explore grid decarbonization, building efficiency, and electrification strategies, in isolation and in combination.

Panelists: 

• Megan Day, National Renewable Energy Laboratory
• Daren Zigich, New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department
• Abbe Ramanan, Clean Energy States Alliance (moderator)
