WORKER SPOTLIGHT (brought to you by CE4AEF’s Faces of Clean Energy program)
Michael Skelly is founder and CEO at Grid United, an early stage transmission development company. Last summer, he joined a CE4A event on grid modernization and resilience.
What is the most important thing about transmission or grid decarbonization that people should know? “I think we’re about to have a transmission moment here because the bipartisan infrastructure bill allocated you know not as much money as some would hope but like a lot of money for the grid — more than ever.”
Why is clean energy important to you? “There’s a whole lot of reasons to invest in the grid, and they range from more energy options, more choices, better resilience. I think most people, regardless of where you sit politically, believe that we will use more and more electricity in the future, and that means we need more grid.”
