27 Mar Interfaith Network to explore impacts of Austin Energy Gen Plan — (free symposium)
The Interfaith Environmental Network of Austin
(InterfaithEnvironment.org)
Invites You to Attend our Monthly Symposium
7:00 pm, Tuesday, April 1, 2014
This month’s presentation and Q&A:
Fair, Affordable, and Green:
Faithfully Building Our Energy Future
The City of Austin is at the beginning stages of an important conversation about our electricity future. This conversation, now underway, will determine the sources of Austin’s energy mix—coal, natural gas, solar, wind, energy-efficiency, etc.—for the next several decades. Because the sources of our community’s energy affect our health and environment as well as our pocketbooks, and because the faith community has deep interests in ensuring the well being of all people today and for generations to come, it is important that Austin’s faith community offer leadership and participate in the conversation.
Join us Tue, April 1, to learn about Austin Energy's planning process
and explore the complexity of these issues.
Khalil Shalabi is Vice President of Energy Market Operations and Resource Planning at Austin Energy. He will offer a presentation on Austin Energy’s proposed plan, and then we’ll have a panel discussion featuring local religious leaders from impacted communities, followed by an open forum Q&A. Audience members are encouraged to ask questions of both Mr. Shalabi and the panel.
Khalil Shalabi has more than 20 years of management experience in the electric utility industry. Prior to joining Austin Energy, he served as Chief Technology Officer and Director of Research & Development and Strategic Planning for the New York Power Authority.
