States seeking to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions and transition toward a net-zero economy often center their strategies on clean electricity and widespread electrification. This conference will examine the technical and economic characteristics of a zero-emissions electric system; challenges to achieving such a system at the state level and possible policy solutions; and how states can foster zero-emissions electric systems in a just and equitable manner.
