“With OppEx policy brief “Reinvent vs. Rebuild” as a framework, we ran a three-part webinar series focused on imagining ways to design an ECE system in Massachusetts. Over 700 ECE stakeholders joined us, and thanks to the knowledge and practical experience of the OppEx team, the series was engaging and provocative.”
