This is iHeartMedia's CEOs you should know, sponsored by Comcast Business Powering Possibilities.

2
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.599
So the Commonwealth has very ambitious climacals. I think we all recognize with global

3
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.519
warming we need to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and National Grid wants to be a

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.679
partner in progress in that energy transformation. Hi, my name is Lisa Wheelan

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.920
and I'm the president of National Grid, New England. Increasingly people are going

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.160
to be more dependent upon us.
It won't just be about keeping the lights

7
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.000
on or keeping the food in the
refridge cold. Right, So if you

8
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.960
think about needing to charge your electric
car, if you think about heating your

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.359
home, you're going to expect fewer
disruptions. So people are going to need

10
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.640
more choices about how they consume energy, and we want to be there to

11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.640
help them provide that. So we
have a two billion dollar investment plan that

12
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.520
we have proposed to build the future
grid, that smarter, stronger, cleaner

13
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.359
grid to make sure that we can
also provide safe, reliable, affordable energy

14
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.359
and also make that transition equitable.
One of the things that I've just been

15
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.240
so impressed about is how deeply committed
our team is at National Grid to the

16
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.400
communities we serve beyond just making sure
that people have the power that they need

17
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.319
and the energy that they need.
So through our Grid for Good program,

18
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:14.519
we've invested in small businesses in our
communities. We also have energy savings program,

19
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.400
and we also volunteer at a lot
of community organizations that could use our

20
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.319
health. CEOs You Should Know is
