“Creating sustainable and investable opportunities in transmission and distribution requires a coordinated effort. This week I’ve been able to speak to key stakeholders who share the Gridworks vision and I look forward to developing these relationships and offering the support of Gridworks going forward.”

Flavin shared the panel with representatives from Umeme, PowerGen Renewable Energy, and the Nigerian Rural Electrification Agency, where they discussed titled how utilities and off-grid projects can work together.
