Converging state, national, and world events are once again making energy efficiency a high-priority issue. Oil and natural gas prices have risen dramatically and electric generation and transmission capacity concerns are looming in many regions. Environmental concerns are also rising, which presents risks for even greater future costs. In addition, as electric restructuring continues to sputter, utilities are facing increasing responsibilities for resource procurement and for assuring adequate electric supply.
All of these factors serve to heighten the importance of energy efficiency as a resource. In response, ACEEE is organizing this national conference. Policymakers, regulators, utility planners, energy efficiency program implementers, and interested stakeholders can all obtain the latest information on these trends and on the strategic use of energy efficiency and demand reduction to help address these concerns.
This conference builds on ACEEE's highly successful "First National Conference on Energy Efficiency and Electric Reliability," held in Berkeley, California in 2001. Key topics to be covered at the 2003 conference include:
- Portfolio management and the integration of energy efficiency as a resource
- The role of energy efficiency in transmission planning
- Using targeted efficiency to help defer distribution system investments
- Using efficiency to reduce peak demand, including lessons from summer 2001 and an update on current efforts
- The integration of energy efficiency and other demand-side strategies
Featured Speakers and Special Guests
Nationally known speakers will provide U.S. perspective on the dynamic policy and regulatory trends affecting energy efficiency in the utility industry:
- Ralph Cavanagh, Natural Resources Defense Council
- Richard Cowart, Regulatory Assistance Project
California is embarking on a major new path of "resource procurement" and California utilities are projecting hundreds of millions of dollars of additional spending on energy efficiency as a "resource." The conference will feature keynote speakers from the host state of California:
- Michael Peevey, President, California Public Utilities Commission
- Susan Kennedy, Commissioner, California Public Utilities Commission and "assigned commissioner" for energy efficiency
