The Winds of Change: Offshore Wind, Fish, and the Western Grid

Along with the growing interest in offshore wind energy on the West Coast come questions about the associated opportunities and impacts.

Elon Hasson, renewable energy developer and Green Energy Institute advisory council member, will explore some of the benefits and challenges of offshore wind development with Himali Parmar, an expert in renewable integration, interconnection assessments, production cost modeling, and forecasting transmission congestion and losses, and Dr. Andrew Gill, a fish behavioral ecologist who is particularly interested in understanding how fish respond and adapt to changes in their environment.

This event was co-sponsored the Lewis & Clark's Green Energy Institute and Lewis & Clark’s Environmental, Natural Resources, and Energy Law program on February 23, 2022.
