Reaching Clean Power Plan Goals at No Cost: Securing the Smart Grid's Potential

This Clean Power Plans training program will discuss and debate the final 111(d) rule components under which smart grid capabilities will qualify. It will also discuss smart grid capabilities with significant greenhouse gas emission reduction goal potential and challenges associated with smart grid capability optimization.

Why Should You Attend:

State utility regulators, energy offices, and environmental agencies with the responsibility to develop Clean Power Plans are looking for the most cost-effective compliance options. Whether your state has sunk smart grid costs or is currently considering utility investment proposals, smart grid capabilities represent an option that should be evaluated for inclusion in Clean Power Plans.

This webcast will help states determine the most appropriate role for smart grids in their Clean Power Plans and how best to execute the smart grid plan components of their plans.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• Three smart grid capabilities with significant greenhouse gas emission reduction potential
• Estimating the potential size of greenhouse gas emission reductions associated with these capabilities
• How to deploy emissions-reducing smart grid capabilities at no incremental cost to consumers or businesses
• Challenges associated with the optimization of emissions-reducing smart grid capabilities
• Potential solutions to smart grid capability optimization challenges
• How smart grid capabilities can be used in rate-based, mass-based, and emissions trading types of Clean Power Plans
• Evaluation, Measurement, and Verification of greenhouse gas emission reductions from smart grid capabilities
