This program is co-sponsored by the ACC Energy Network and the Energy Bar Association. \n\n\n\nEnvironmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) policies have attracted a groundswell of critics within private and public companies and federal and state governments. The interplay of this Anti-ESG movement and the energy transition has come to light with a growing number of Anti-ESG bills\, shareholder proposals\, and climate change litigation. During this webinar\, our speakers will provide a high-level overview of developments within the Anti-ESG movement\, discuss the relatively broad support for ESG\, and share helpful tips about how to navigate the legal risks present when ESG and Anti-ESG converge. \n\n\n\nIf you are a corporate counsel and would like to register for this Legal Update webinar\, please click here. If you are not an ACC member\, please email events@bdlaw.com for more information. \n\n\n\nBeveridge & Diamond is proud to sponsor the ACC Environmental and Sustainability Network\, a group that enhances the ability of ACC members to practice environmental law. The Network provides resources\, peer connections\, and other support for member companies on environmental and sustainability issues for facilities and products\, including project development and worker health and safety issues. \n\n\n\nEBA Members can create a free account to register for the program: Create Account URL:https://www.eba-net.org/event/co-sponsored-event-esg-and-anti-esg-for-the-association-of-corporate-counsel/ LOCATION:Virginia CATEGORIES:In-House Counsel Coalition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.eba-net.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/EBA-Upcoming-Event3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230309T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230309T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T094702 CREATED:20230130T151843Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230307T184726Z UID:10000012-1678370400-1678381200@www.eba-net.org SUMMARY:2023 Enforcers & Defenders Forum DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Enforcers and Defenders Forum will take place on Thursday\, March 9 from 2:00 to 5:00 PM at Hunton Andrews Kurth’s offices in D.C. with an Enforcers’ panel\, Defenders’ panel\, and networking event. \n\n\n\nThis popular event provides a forum to discuss current issues related to enforcement and compliance in the energy sector.

However\, the electrify everything solution\, while having significant opportunities\, also has significant challenges. What are the opportunities and challenges associated with the electrify everything path to net zero? How can the opportunities be seized and the challenges overcome? \n\n\n\nModerator: \n\n\n\nRobert Hanf\, K.C.\, Non-Executive Director\, Canadian Utilities Limited\, Former President and CEO of Nova Scotia Power \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nRobert Fleishman\, Partner\, Kirkland & Ellis LLPLeonard Waverman\, PhD\, Former Dean Haskayne School of Business\, University of Calgary and DeGroote School of Business McMasterPaul Cheliak\, Vice President\, Strategy & Delivery Canadian Gas Association \n\n\n\n9:25 AM – 10:40 AM: Transition to Net Zero: Who Decides? \n\n\n\nClimate change policy requires significant collective action at various levels of government. It also requires actions that change the relationship between individuals and the state (public law) and between individuals (private law). What happens when the collective action required within a federal political system\, such as those in Canada and the United States\, is not supported by the various levels of government and the costs and risks of climate change are inequitably shared (both geographically between states/provinces and between citizens)? How can conflicting positions be reconciled? What level of government ultimately sets policy and are some policy approaches better than others? \n\n\n\nModerator: \n\n\n\nSteve McGrath\, K.C.\, Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nDave Morton\, P.

These RTOs and ISOs also have enduring challenges\, including those related to “missing money” market clearing prices\, and other issues which are likely to be exacerbated by the decarbonization of electricity. What actions are needed to ensure that markets continue to play a role in decarbonized electricity systems? \n\n\n\nModerator: Anna Fung\, K.C.\, Deputy Chair\, British Columbia Utilities Commission \n\n\n\nPanelists:Adonis Yatchew\, Professor of Economics at University of TorontoArne Olson\, Senior Partner\, Energy and Environmental Economics\, Inc.Rob Nicholson\, Managing Director\, Canadian Power\, Utilities\, & Infrastructure at RBC Capital MarketsDavid Wood\, Partner\, Torys LLP \n\n\n\n12:10 PM – 1:15 PM: Lunch \n\n\n\n1:15 PM – 2:30 PM: The Case for the Importance of Data Planning in Electrification \n\n\n\nAs energy use\, prices and bills become more volatile due to increased DERs and EV penetration\, the historic context of predictable one-way flows driven by predictable consumer demand growth will no longer serve for planning purposes. In order to drive down the cost of providing new supply and additional transfer capacity\, forecasting future peak demands through the electrification transition needs to become more statistical given the variability of DERs and EV use. Shifting the regulatory\, forecasting and planning context will provide an opportunity to take reasoned risks in approaching optimized electrification capital investments.   \n\n\n\nModerator: Bob Heggie\, Chief Executive\, Alberta Utilities Commission \n\n\n\nPanelists:Andrew Leach\, Professor of Economics and Law\, University of AlbertaStephanie Prior\, Partner\, Deloitte CanadaDennis Frehlich\, Alberta Utilities Commission Acting Commission Member\, and Former VP\, Grid Reliability\, AESO \n\n\n\n2:30 PM – 2:45 PM: Afternoon Break \n\n\n\n2:45 PM – 4:00 PM: Climate Change and the Role of the Economic Regulator \n\n\n\nOver the last several decades\, economic regulation in most jurisdictions in Canada and the United States\, particularly at the state/provincial level\, has been focused on rights determining functions – rate setting\, leave to construct proceedings\, merger and acquisitions approvals\, determination of need\, cost allocation\, and rate design – within adjudicative proceedings. The decarbonization of the energy electricity system in both Canada and the United States may require regulators to focus on different issues\, use different regulatory processes and tools\, change decision structures\, and evolve the role of staff. Are the policy makers who task regulators ready to thoughtfully renew the role of the regulator to meet the decarbonization challenge?   \n\n\n\nModerator: Kristi Sebalj\, Vice-Chair\, Alberta Utilities Commission \n\n\n\nPanelists: Chris Russo\, VP & Global Energy Practice Leader at Charles River AssociatesGordon Kaiser\, Energy Law ChambersCarolyn Calwell\, Chief Corporate Services Officer & General Counsel\, Ontario Energy Board Meredith Fowlie\, Professor in the Agricultural and Resource Economics Department\, Faculty Director at the Energy Institute at Haas \n\n\n\n4:00 PM – 4:15 PM: Closing Remarks \n\n\n\nThank you to Bob Heggie (Immediate Past President\, EBA Canadian Chapter) and Gordon Kaiser (Vice President and Director\, EBA Canadian Chapter) for your leadership on this program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now!\n\n\n\n\nRegistration typeMember285Nonmember295*Please note that prices displayed are in Canadian dollars\, but will be processed in USD URL:https://www.eba-net.org/event/the-annual-law-and-economics-forum/ LOCATION:The Ranchmen’s Club\, 710 13 Ave SW\, Calgary\, Alberta\, T2R 0K9\, Canada CATEGORIES:Canadian Chapter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.eba-net.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Canada-350-x-350-px.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231102T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231102T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T094703 CREATED:20230808T164853Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231101T160257Z UID:10000040-1698915600-1698944400@www.eba-net.org SUMMARY:2023 Texas Chapter Annual Symposium DESCRIPTION:Join EBA’s Texas Chapter for their 2023 Annual Symposium in Houston\, TX!

From utility-scale systems to smaller individual systems behind the meter\, batteries have the potential to help solve a number of problems facing the grid.  But they create new challenges as well. This panel will discuss battery storage technologies and explore recent developments in battery storage systems and policies\, their effects on the grid\, and opportunities for the future. Access Speaker Bios \n\n\n\n\n\nWinston SkinnerCounsel – Energy Regulation Vinson & Elkins LLP\n\n\n\n\n\nShelley EichenlaubVice President\, Contracts & ProcurementBroad Reach Power\n\n\n\n\n\nEric GoffPresidentGoff Policy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJason RyanExecutive Vice President\, Regulatory Services and Government AffairsCenterPoint Energy\n\n\n\n\n\nJoel YuVice President\, PolicyEnchanted Rock\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:30 – 11:45 AM: Break\n\n\n\n11:45 AM – 1:00 PM: Lunch and Fireside Chat with Former FERC Commissioner Bernard McNamee\n\n\n\nJoin former FERC Commissioner Bernard L. McNamee for a fireside chat during lunch.  Moderated by Mr. Charlie Ofner\, partner at White & Case\, this discussion will revolve around how the US energy system is adjusting to a new environment\, and what changes may be just over the horizon.  This session will explore a wide range of trends and topics in energy law and regulation\, including grid functionality and reliability\, permitting and interconnection reform\, FERC’s role in responding to current and future energy infrastructure and market developments\, and much more.

As a result of this potential\, companies and investors continue to ramp up investments in CCUS projects and technologies. Despite the billions of dollars that are beginning to be invested here\, the CCUS space is still in many ways a nascent industry\, with potentially major benefits for those willing to take bold risks. This panel will provide a deep dive into the key legal and financial considerations that companies and investors alike should consider when developing their own carbon capture playbooks to navigate the emerging CCUS landscape.
