This month’s webinar features Nick Hylla, Executive Director of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association, for a practical, plain-language overview of how the electricity system works and the current and expected impact of large scale solar energy, energy storage, data centers, small modular reactors and more. Nick walks through the basics of how the grid works, the different types of electricity production, and key considerations for homeowners and businesses exploring solar. He also touches on utility-scale solar and shares resources to help communities navigate local solar development concerns. The session concludes with a live Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to submit questions and learn directly from one of the Midwest’s most experienced clean energy educators.

About the MREA’s Webinar Series:
Join the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) for a free, monthly webinar series exploring the renewable energy and sustainability topics you want to learn more about. These interactive sessions take place on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. and are hosted virtually for easy access from anywhere.

The MREA was founded from our historic Energy Fair event — an annual gathering that brought together thousands of attendees to explore sustainability, clean energy, and actionable solutions for a greener future. While the Fair has since been retired, its spirit of education, connection, and action lives on. This monthly webinar series continues that legacy by creating space for learning, discussion, and community around today’s most relevant clean energy and sustainability topics.

These webinars are free and open to all. We do encourage participants to become MREA members to help support our work and ensure we can continue offering accessible education and advocacy across the Midwest.
