Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will be in Virginia this weekend to attend the annual meeting of the National Governors Association and will lead a session on states and the “modern electric grid,” his office has announced.
The electric grid is a timely topic in the wake of two widespread blackouts in the Northeast following storms last August and October, and just recently in the mid-Atlantic states after a devastating string of thunderstorms. The topic will be discussed Saturday in a meeting of the Natural Resources Committee , with Malloy as chairman.
The weekend meeting, in Williamsburg, Va., runs Friday afternoon through Sunday morning.
