Phase One Final Report
Report Summary
This summary presents our findings to a broad range of stakeholders with shared interest in planning for energy transition. It is a distillation of the extensive research and analyses conducted by the I-WEST team on the scientific underpinnings of regionally relevant technology pathways examined in Phase One, as well as the economic, workforce, policy and energy justice factors that were considered. The accessible nature of this report aligns with our place-based approach and is intended to provide readers with a high-level overview of our outcomes. Unabridged versions the chapters in this summary are provided below for a more in-depth look at our Phase One outcomes.
