KALENCON DIrector Sigrid Phillips to oversee beginning of transition of Green Energy Grid

The day dreamed of long ago, where Kalistan transitions entirely away from Fossil Fuels and Hydrocarbons to generate energy has finally arrived. By the end of this year, The Government has required KALENCON, the Kalistani Energy Consortium that runs the various fusion plants across Kalistan, to oversee a full transition to renewable clean energy in the form of Fusion, Solar, Wind, wave, tidal and geothermal energy. The mandated transition shall last for 20 years and will incorporate a sizeable investment in infrastructure as well as research and development into both efficiency and storage and delivery that will lay the foundations for Kalistan's energy future.

The woman overseeing the initial stages of the transition, KALENCON's Sigrid Phillips has already began reorganizing the corporate structure of the energy Consortium to meet the new responsibilities it anticipates. "We are switching from generation mode into expansion mode," said Phillips. "By the end of June, KALENCON will have offices in each of the five duchies, as well as research labs based primarily in Ananto, which offer the best climates for the various new technologies we look forward to building and deploying, to include geothermal, which due to Ananto's volcanic pre-history, is an untapped potential that exists here alone in the Empire."

Phillips also noted that the Mandate permits her to begin working with foreign Energy providers and researchers. "Particularly promising is an opportunity to meet and collaborate with Dolgavan scientists and engineers," said Phillips. "We will be sponsoring an energy symposium here in Kaliburg this summer and will invite our Dolgavan Colleagues to attend. Hopefully this will be the start of a long and prosperous cooperation between us. It would be ideal if we could build a working regime for continued and regular cooperation, like an Anantonese energy Group for example, but at any rate it is our desire to share our technology with Dolgava at least, and see what they have to offer us in return."

KALENCON wants to also persuade Kalistan's main car company, Moco, to transition to a full EV fleet by 5215. "We will also need to work with KalMD on Batteries, both for storage of energy from renewable sources, but also more efficient batteries which are less lithium intensive, or utilize hydrogen fuelcell technology to operate them. These forms of efficient batteries will need to be build on a mass scale over the next twenty or so years if we are ever to have any hope of leaving hydrocarbons behind."

This is the final dawning of the new day for Kalistan, one that has been sought after by generations of Kalsitani environmentalists and successive Kalistani administrations. With work and perseverance, it will come to pass.
