Public Health Research Roadmap on Emerging Electricity Generating Systems

Abstract

This report establishes a public health research roadmap aimed at anticipating and preventing potential unintended health impacts of emerging electricity generating, storing, and distributing systems (EES). Through expert interviews and bibliographic research, this Public Health Research Roadmap provides a compilation of resources and information from state of the art research on EES and their potential health impacts. This report focuses on renewable generation and electricity storage technologies along with innovations in distribution systems that are already being implemented or are likely to be part of California’s electricity grid by 2030.
