9/19 Roundtable - Three Keynotes: EPA, FERC, and ISO-New England

Three Keynotes: U.S. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, FERC Chairman Cheryl LaFleur, and ISO New England CEO Gordon van Welie

We are delighted to announce that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy and ISO New England CEO Gordon van Welie will join Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Cheryl LaFleur at the September 19th New England Electricity Restructuring Roundtable.

The three keynotes will address issues of great importance to New England:

• U.S. EPA Administrator McCarthy will discuss EPA’s proposed Clean Power Plan proposed rules [aka Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act], and how they may interface with and impact RGGI and other New England states’ clean energy policies and programs.
• FERC Chairman LaFleur will address a range of important issues and topics related to New England’s electricity/gas markets and reliability.
• ISO New England CEO van Welie will discuss the economic and reliability challenges resulting from an electric power industry in transition. In particular, he will discuss ISO New England’s actions to address the transition occurring in the region's generation fleet, including the retirement of coal, oil and nuclear generation, and the transition toward a high dependency on natural gas generation and increased investments in renewable energy and behind-the-meter resources.
