The December meeting of the NH Network will take a look at electricity in NH. Our featured speaker will be Brian Callnan, Vice President of Power Resources and Access at the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative. We will learn some electricity basics, while finding out where NHEC’s electricity comes from, how the cooperative model works in energy, the challenges of transmission, how regulation impacts the cooperative, a summary of how the largest battery in NH works, and how NHEC’s new Transactive Energy Business model -- the utility of the future -- will help members connect Distributed Energy Resources.
