Building the Grid of the Future: A Discussion of Transmission Reform

Presented by The State Energy and Environmental Impact Center

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is seeking comments on a massive overhaul of its approach to the transmission grid. Transmission buildout is going to be important for bringing renewable energy to population centers and achieving clean energy goals, but many details about how we can construct transmission in a cost-effective, equitable manner that plans for the resources of tomorrow must be worked out. Please join the State Energy & Environmental Impact Center for a discussion of FERC’s recent advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, Building for the Future Through Electric Regional Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation and Generator Interconnection. We will have an overview of FERC’s proposal from Liz Salerno, the Lead for Transmission and Technology Initiatives for Chairman Glick, followed by a panel discussion about how the proceeding relates to state clean energy goals, customer costs, environmental justice, and more. Please RSVP here. Registration is required. A confirmation email will include a link to join the webinar. We encourage you to submit questions in advance to tiernaur.anderson@nyu.edu. We will also take questions during the conference using the Q&A feature. 

This event is seeking approval for New York State CLE credit. If approved, it will be appropriate for both experienced and newly admitted attorneys.
