EPRI
Morgan Scott is EPRI’s Director of Climate READi.
The PUF team spoke with some of the leaders of the Climate REsilience and ADaptation Initiative to harden systems for the more adverse environmental conditions ahead. Here in this special feature are conversations with the Chief Scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the COO of Southwest Power Pool, the General Secretary of Europe's electric industry association, and two leaders at EPRI.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: You have your job at EPRI but now you have this new responsibility. What does that entail?
Morgan Scott: I am director of our Sustainability and Ecosystem Stewardship research team, but also of Climate READi, (REsilience and ADaptation initiative). Over the next three years, I have responsibility for moving this initiative forward.
We have an incredible technical team who will be digging into the three workstreams we have simultaneously launched over the next three years, but it still requires a lot of engagement across the Institute with our researchers, as well as our member companies and affinity group participants. I'm looking forward to helping facilitate those efforts.
PUF: Give us an overview of those three workstreams.
