This year Audrey Zibelman (Chad 1977–79) took up a new post as vice president at X, the Moonshot Factory, where she works to develop tools and capabilities to decarbonize the electrical system. In April, as the Biden administration convened the Leaders Summit on Climate, Zibelman was invited to present steps that can be taken to counter the detrimental impacts of the climate crisis.

During the summit, Zibelman announced that the U.S. and the U.K. would be joining the Global Power System Transformation Consortium, which she helped create during her time as CEO of the Australian Energy Market Operator.
