Session 2: Bottlenecks and Breakthroughs: Working Together to Make District Energy a Reality

What technologies are being deployed today, who is implementing them, and what are the practical examples from the region and beyond? Where are the gaps and bottlenecks? How do district thermal solutions de-risk electric capacity additions? What does a productive utility–thermal partnership look like (governance, tariffs, interconnection, risk)?

• Alejandro Davila-Miranda, King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks
• Michael Hogan, Port of Bellingham
• Mark Lenssen, Puget Sound Energy
• Rob Neimeier, Ramboll
