The capacity markets have not been without changes over the years to capture changing needs and conditions. With the changing fleet\, the increasing frequency of “100 year” events\, the proliferation of large loads driven by data centers and electrification\, there’s continued focus on capacity market reform. In this panel\, we will hear from experts who will explore several current issues that are or will be on the table for discussion in the near term\, such as accreditation\, sub-annual capacity products\, and the shape and height of the demand curve. \n\n\n\n\n\nBruce Anderson Senior Vice President & General Counsel New England Power Generators Association\, Inc.\n\n\n\n\n\nLiz DelaneyVice President\, Utility-Scale Policy and Business Development New Leaf Energy\n\n\n\n\n\nMarc D.

SUMMARY:Energy Law Academy Course 102: An Introduction to Electricity and Electric Rate Regulation
DESCRIPTION:The goal of Course 102 is to provide an overview of electric regulation at the federal and state levels. The course begins with a brief overview of how electricity is generated\, transmitted\, and delivered to customers\, and covers key legal milestones in electric regulation since commercial electric service began in the 1870s. \n\n\n\nThe course explains how state and federal jurisdiction over different segments of the industry emerged under the Federal Power Act of 1935 and later legislation\, including the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 and the Energy Policy Acts of 1992 and 2005. We will review key regulatory concepts underlying all forms of regulation\, from traditional cost-of-service regulation to the parameters for setting market-based rates. \n\n\n\nThe course will also cover alternative regulatory regimes\, development of competitive wholesale and retail electric markets\, enforcement of the prohibition against market manipulation\, the role of Regional Transmission Organizations\, and the reliability regime administered by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.View Speaker Bios Here \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS EVENT.
