<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Here is a quick reminder of our meeting this Friday at 9 am.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">https://ucmerced.zoom.us/j/4364884550<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We will give an update on our research this time, especially on a study that considers what time of year we will be most likely to run low on electricity in the 2045 grid we envision and a quick paper that
looks at the benefits of load shifting. We will also give a more general update and ask your input.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We currently have close to 10 papers in progress and hope to finish at least half a dozen of these by the end of the summer. So, instead of inviting an outside speaker as we have done in the past, we would
like to take this time to present some of our results. I will confirm the agenda closer to time of the meeting, but want to get this onto your calendars now.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I look forward to reconnecting with you.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
