Clean power seems to be everyone’s aspiration, but the process for defining it and achieving it has become quite messy. The EPA’s Clean Power initiative is dominating most energy discussions these days, but the means by which to clarify the rules and comply with them is pulling together a lot of threads, such as state jurisdiction, renewable energy initiatives, the changing roles of natural gas, energy storage, water resource policy, and the like. And let’s not forget the overarching goals of reliability and keeping energy affordable. New stakeholders are emerging as technologies and the economics for production change, giving rise to increasingly complex regulatory and political issues. How can those responsible for keeping the system working make decisions for the long term? What are their options and what are the likely outcomes?

PURC's 43rd Annual Conference will examine options and decision making for environmental policies, energy supply, industry roles and responsibilities, and water regulation. Speakers and participants will engage in discussions that address the following questions:

  • How will Florida respond to the Clean Power Plan initiative?
  • What are other states doing?
  • What is happening in the retail markets for natural gas?
  • How will the Clean Power Plan and renewable energy options affect consumers?
  • What are the disrupters in utilities? What threats or opportunities do they present?
  • What can be improved in water regulation? How will water policy affect energy?
