The debate over climate change has produced multiple pressures on utility regulators. Integrated resource planning processes born in the 1990s require modernization to reflect new approaches to demand-side initiatives (including energy efficiency, demand response, and dynamic rates). Regional transmission planning has the potential to "green" our power supply, but state and federal regulators must find a way to coordinate their actions. Large capital investments—whether in generation, transmission, or "smart grid"—are on the drawing boards, but Wall Street is itchy about investments absent more predictability in state ratemaking. Renewable energy policy is in flux, as four policy urges from four different eras combine in unpredictable ways.
This two-day, 12-hour seminar will bring you the learning you need to address these problems. NRRI's popular seminars make electricity accessible to the beginner while also challenging the veteran. Designed for lawyers and non-lawyers alike, these seminars trace the roots of today's leading industry challenges. Audiences praise the dynamic mix of lecture and audience participation.
