Do Not Miss the Pre-Summit Symposium:
Generation Economics in an Era of Greenhouse Gas Uncertainty
About the Summit
Energy and generation planning has become significantly more complex than ever before. Driven by a combination of legislation and regulatory initiatives, as well as by economic and environmental trends, utility energy and generation planning must now incorporate not only such staples as predicted fuel costs and forecasted load, but also the impacts of new factors, including energy efficiency initiatives, demand response programs, renewable portfolio standards, pollution mitigation costs, the potential of not-completely-mature generation technologies such as IGCC, the uncertainties of future greenhouse gas regulation and more. The business plans of non-utility players in the power industry must address the same issues.
Infocast has designed this event, Energy & Generation Planning Summit 2008, to provide a detailed briefing on the best practices developed to deal with each of these difficult questions; to show how to incorporate all of them in a total planning framework; and to provide advice on how to communicate this vision forcefully to regulators, stakeholders, financiers and investors.
We have assembled the nation’s leading experts on energy and generation planning to provide concrete, real world answers to your toughest questions. Please review our detailed agenda and our eminent faculty and reserve your place today.
