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:20260404T043057 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!

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.
