Aparna Narang on Clubhouse

Bio

Two decades enabling renewable energy. Passionate about addressing climate change. Developing stories and maps to showcase climate change risks and social equity issues to spur action.

Built wind farms. Integrated renewables in CAISO markets. Led bidding and dispatch of 20,000 MW portfolio including pumped hydro, hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, batteries, nuclear and natural gas. Early stage microgrid development.

Topics on my mind:
🌎 Climate solutions need multidimensional systems thinkers (social equity, circularity)
⚡️Resilient local energy infrastructure is critical to withstand impacts of climate change
💰The electric grid is past its shelf life in many parts of the world. There will be a heavy price to pay to update the grid - this will also drive local solutions & community control
💧Interested in leveraging learnings from electricity to water
