Appraisals may be one of the least understood elements of renewable energy project development transactions. Project developers, investors and sponsors, lenders and other parties essential to these deals pin most of their proprietary decisions on this critical valuation component. Therefore, for each of these transaction counterparties, a lucid understanding of appraisal methods, analysis and value derivation is essential for optimizing
This program is designed to provide utilities who are exploring the potential for utilizing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) with a solid foundation about the capabilities and limitations of the technology. The workshop will also provide you with the tools to adapt current processes to leverage this rapidly developing technology as well as identify when drones present a real opportunity for
This one-day course will offer a wide perspective on nine different environmental legal areas of interest for electric utilities.

The areas discussed as part of this course are: the
The era of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) pilot projects is over. Renewables and DERs are now growing at such a rapid pace that utilities need to be thinking ahead of this transition. The traditional power system engineering paradigm is turned upside-down: causing us to rethink the relationship of transmission and distribution and the frequency by which load is managed. The
The cannabis industry is bringing huge opportunities. According to a 2020 report from Grand View Research, the global legal marijuana market size is expected to reach 73.6 billion by 2027. However, in order to take advantage of these sizeable opportunities, stakeholders must navigate a challenging and ever-evolving regulatory structure. Cannabis industry players must consider the realities of implementation: land
Public power utilities and cooperatives confront most of the same challenges as investor owned utilities (IOUs), when it comes to: Navigating the shift away from carbon-intensive energy sources to renewables Staying abreast of the evolution in consumer preferences towards limiting the environmental impact of fossil fuels Raising capital for the billions of dollars of new infrastructure investment needed in the
As the frequency and severity of storms has impacted Utility Budgets as never before, plus, now with the COVID-19, Emergency Planners are under incredible pressure to gain SAIDI & SAIFI numbers rarely obtained consistently before. “Tropical Storm Cristobal became the earliest occurrence of a third named system in the Atlantic basin during any hurricane season in recorded history,” said AccuWeather

The Coronavirus has changed the way the world does business, and the customer service departments in the utility industry have felt the impact. With mandatory disconnect moratoriums, record unemployment, and social distancing requirements, utilities are deemed an essential service and must find new ways to interact with customers. Some have enacted social distancing in their contact centers, some have moved
Over the past two-plus decades, wholesale electricity markets for generation and transmission (G&T) services have transformed the power landscape. These unbundled wholesale markets serve as the short- and long-term cost references for measuring and assessing the broader value and worth of these power resources in most regions across North America. Now, most electric utilities, distribution, generation and transmission entities are

The distribution grid is becoming an increasingly complex energy ecosystem, as solar, battery storage, and other DERs move into mainstream use. The energy industry is still learning how these new technologies will impact the grid, with consideration given to the different sizes, capabilities, and forms (i.e. “hybrid” solar + storage) these projects are being proposed and developed. This has made
The pipeline industry is under heightened scrutiny by regulators, the media and the public. The NTSB highlighted aging pipelines as a concern in its 2019-2020 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements. Likewise, Congress has ongoing interest in the safety of older transmission pipelines and in the replacement of leaky and deteriorating cast iron pipe in natural gas distribution systems.
Marginal generation capacity costs have been set according to the least-cost means by which capacity can be provided. The $/kW-year costs associated with simple cycle CT capacity, however determined, has served as the benchmark methodology for some time. As a practical matter, recent developments challenge this well-anchored approach. First, lower levels of expected inflation and ongoing cost efficiencies introduce institutional
As the world moves through this historic Coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”), the energy community continues to fight operations, security, and grid challenges to maintain reliability. By now, many organizations across industry have had a chance to analyze the scope of this pandemic and begin implementing a strategic response.

Relative to the overall cost of operating a utility company, the cost of owning and operating a utility company fleet is small and seemingly inconsequential. As a result, much of utility fleet management, including its vehicles and equipment, suffer from administrative neglect. And yet, utilities cannot function without their fleets; line crews regularly attest to the fact that their most
“Hosting Capacity Analysis” (HCA) is an analytical tool that helps utilities, regulators and developers evaluate the best locations for distributed energy resources (DERs) to be added to the grid and determine their grid impacts, and what they are worth at each location. HCA can be used as an interconnection screen and to steer optimal development of DERs on the distribution
Arguably, grid modernization has had more impact on the electric distribution system than on any other portion of the power grid. Electric distribution utilities have been migrating mostly manual, paper-driven business processes to electronic, computer assisted decision making with a much higher level of automation than before. Visibility of the growing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and their impact
