Wind Energy Stakeholder Committee Lessons Learned

In this webinar, John Moore, Director of the Sustainable FERC Project at NRDC, discussed some of the issues currently before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the regional markets it regulates, including the potential threats for state RPSs and related state energy policies. Among the issues he discussed are the increasing tensions between state and federal energy policies, energy storage, resilience, aggregation of rooftop solar and other distributed energy resources, PURPA, and transmission planning. This presentation was followed by a Q&A with the audience. This webinar was presented by the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) for the RPS Collaborative.

Climate change, renewable energy, clean energy are the key areas of focus of every government in the world including India. The energy sector needs to wait and watch for the budget day to reveal what is in the store for them. Let’s walk through some of the key expectations from the energy sector before the budget.

With over $45 billion in U.S. renewables investment last year, renewable energy remains a major economic driver stimulating job growth and development throughout the country. On this member-only webinar, investors will provide perspectives on how recent policy uncertainty is affecting capital flows, how it may affect deployment in 2017 and beyond, and the potential impacts of tax reform.

The mining industry faces a complex challenge: how to provide the essential resources the modern global economy needs while reducing its own environmental impact. The integration of renewables and energy storage into its power system offers a number of opportunities for mines: making production more sustainable and reducing costs, while securing and hedging future energy supply cost. In this webinar, three renewables industry leaders will showcase best practices for the conceptualisation, design, installation and operation of cost-efficient hybrid systems, and their implementation at different mining sites – including Fekola Gold Mine in Mali and Sukari Gold Mine in Egypt. Their perspective ranges from the early planning phase to operations, and an outlook towards the energy future of mining practices in the coming years.
