SUMMARY:EBA Energy Law Academy Course 202: An Introduction to PURPA
DESCRIPTION:This course is intended for energy lawyers and other professionals new to the electric industry. The course provides an introduction to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978\, as amended (PURPA) and how it has been implemented by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and state public service commissions (PSCs). Our faculty will provide an overview of the enactment of PURPA and its key provisions; describe the obligations imposed on electric utilities under PURPA; explain how qualifying facility (QF) status is obtained\, what QF status means\, and why QF status is necessary and beneficial; address the determination of “avoided cost” rates paid to QFs; cover waivers and the termination of the must-purchase obligation under PURPA; address the PURPA enforcement regime; cover the PURPA ratemaking standards that states must consider; and wrap up with a discussion of recent developments and trends under PURPA. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nMonday\, November 13\n\n\n\n12:00: Networking lunch\n\n\n\n1:00: Introductions\n\n\n\n1:10 – 2:10 PURPA Overview  \n\n\n\n\n\nThis session will cover:A.
