In this episode, host Amisha Rai interviews Mona Tierney-Lloyd, Head of US Public Policy for Enel North America. Mona shares her perspective on how a regional energy grid could improve reliability, efficiency, and affordability in California and across the West — and underscores just how much more clean energy we need to build to meet the growing demand in California. In order to reach the state’s 2045 clean energy targets, experts estimate California will have to build 5x more clean energy every year than it has over the last decade.
