In this session, you will learn how destructive the pursuit of perfectionism is, and the consequences to both our confidence and careers. We will examine the Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANT’s) and cognitive distortions (messed-up thinking styles) that can fuel our perfectionist tendencies. We will also discuss the myth of multitasking and how trying to do it all kills our productivity and our confidence. You’ll learn time management strategies backed by science to help you focus on what’s important. Lastly, we will discuss how to break up with our people-pleasing habits that keep us locked into saying yes to everyone else’s demands of our time. Learning how to say NO to others in order to say YES to ourselves is a crucial step in breaking the habits of perfectionism, multitasking and people-pleasing.

In our professional and personal lives, there are “crucial conversations” where the stakes are high, emotions intense, and outcomes significant. These conversations don’t occur every day, but when they do, they can make a big difference in our lives. Women who master how to approach these key conversations are more likely to achieve their goals and enrich their lives. In this session, we will explore how women can be most effective in crucial conversations in the workplace, at home, and with friends.
Laura Sayavedra, Senior Vice President, Projects, Safety & Reliability, and ERP, Enbridge
It’s not easy to feel strong and confident in a business world where constant change is the norm and demands can feel relentless. Successful leaders have always delivered results. Today, even this has evolved. Leaders are expected not only to solve existing issues but, more importantly, they are expected to test limits and continuously improve performance. Today’s results are never good enough for tomorrow. The key is how fast and effectively leaders can find and solve issues to improve the business – beyond what anyone thought possible. Expectations can be overwhelming.
The choice to be a leader takes courage and stamina, requiring us to be experts in our areas (even if it is new), to influence and drive interfaces in a company, to make courageous decisions, and find innovative approaches to undefined challenges. This session looks at how we can respond to complicated, difficult, and even chaotic situations, while building our credibility and capacity to lead. The speaker draws on her own experiences with potentially overwhelming roles to share ideas on how to simplify the complex, maintain perspective, build these interfaces and find a manageable path forward. Ultimately, these skills shape our professional identities as people who can deliver valuable results – personally and professionally.

Working parents face a juggling act with the competing demands from their work and family lives. Government family policies, around the world, are intended to support parents, minimize the work-life struggle, and maintain parents’ connection to employment. Though legislated policies have their strengths and weaknesses, employers’ policies and internal culture also play a key role in supporting employees attempts to balance their lives. Working mothers have developed many strategies to improve their work-life balance, but now more action is needed from employers and partners. With the baby boomers retiring, employers will be facing a significant shortage of key talent, which creates increased urgency for the development of family-friendly policies to recruit, retain, and engage key talent, despite their care (child and elder) demands.
Rachael Pettigrew, Ph. D., Assistant Professor, Bissett School of Business, Mount Royal University
Striking a balance between our careers and our personal lives is a challenge for many women in the workforce. Devotion to your work, obligations to family and friends, and the need to take care of yourself, can often make work and life get in the way of each other. Research has shown that logging in long working hours and an extreme work environment negatively impact the overall physical and psychological health of employees and deteriorate family-life. A good work-life balance can enable employees to feel more in control of their lives and lead to increased productivity, lower absenteeism, and a happier, less stressed workforce. In this session, we’ll explore ways that you can work toward a healthier balance to achieve greater personal satisfaction and improved well-being.

Overview
Apologies are confidence killers. So, why are women apologizing all the time? Apologies matter, and with every unnecessary apology we give, we chip away at our confidence. Our mission in this workshop is to turn our apologetic communication styles into confidence building lingo. Apologies have become our habitual way of communicating and it’s intimately linked to our feelings of being an imposter. The imposter syndrome ensures we never feel “good enough”; we constantly undervalue ourselves and feel like we don’t belong. Feeling like an imposter is demoralizing and exhausting, but most of all, it kills our confidence and ability to step out of our comfort zones, take a risk and play big.
The first half of this workshop will focus on communication blunders and you’ll learn:
The 2nd half of this workshop will focus on the imposter syndrome and you will learn:

PURPA, which was enacted in 1978, was originally intended to encourage alternative energy sources during a national energy crisis when oil producers halted deliveries to the U.S. thereby driving up prices. PURPA was intended to foster the development of independent generation via alternative energy sources, thereby reducing the U.S. dependence on foreign oil. In 2005, PURPA was amended under the Energy Policy Act which allowed FERC to exempt utilities from the requirements of PURPA if Qualified Facilities (QFs) have access to wholesale markets.
Today power prices are lower because of the emergence of wholesale market competition, increased renewable generation and low natural gas prices. This increase in renewable generation plays a significant role in advancing sustainability goals and reducing carbon outputs as well as lowering the price of power. There is a growing sense that PURPA needs to change and it would be better to allow states to rely on organized wholesale markets and all-source competitive solicitations to surface the best, most cost-effective projects.
Join us for this event to learn about what’s happening with PURPA and how it is being implemented across the US, as what happens in individual states can influence utilities and developers around the country. The blend of relevant presentations and panel discussions will provide current industry trends, state-of-the-art perspectives and best practices to consider for modernizing PURPA.

Until the last few years, solar and wind energy were so expensive that few utilities had to worry about them matching or besting their avoided cost. Circumstances have changed dramatically, thanks to steady declines in the cost of renewables. As a result, utilities have generally calculated significantly reduced avoided cost prices in recent years. States have continued to grapple with how to compensate QFs for energy and capacity, with some utilities arguing that they should not have to pay for energy or capacity if they do not forecast needing additional energy or capacity in their planning horizon. This session will provide an overview of methodologies used in different states to set avoided cost rates and new challenges with the emergence of competitive procurement including the following topics:

8:00 – 8:30 a.m. :: Continental Breakfast
Although PURPA is a federal law, it delegates to individual states the authority to calculate avoided cost and establish other terms for purchases of QF power. In recent years, the number of smaller QFs has increased, mainly as a result of solar PV. State and federal regulations implementing PURPA have struggled to keep up with the shift from wind to solar and hybrid technologies. Questions surrounding the eligibility and avoided cost value of storage are no longer hypothetical. This session will discuss the greater reliance on RFP processes in several states and how implementation of PURPA can adapt to changing technologies. Topics include:
Speakers:
Terri K. Eaton, Senior Director, Federal Regulatory Affairs, Xcel Energy
Rick Gilliam, Program Director – DG Regulatory Policy, Vote Solar

This year, FERC is expected to consider reforms to its implementation of PURPA. Utilities, state regulators, and developers have all called for various reforms to PURPA and its implementing regulations. Utilities have asserted that the development of competitive wholesale markets and cost declines in renewable generation technologies make PURPA’s mandate outdated. Developers, meanwhile, argue that aspects of PURPA (including the obligation to purchase) have yet to be fully implemented by many states, and that the mandatory purchase obligation is still necessary in many regions. This session will discuss possible PURPA reform initiatives, and whether PURPA can be better aligned with other state and federal policies. Topics include:
Presenters:
Paul DeCotis, Senior Director, Energy and Utility Practice, West Monroe Partners

Overview
Is energy storage a qualified facility? That is the question that people are asking about how energy storage fits in with PURPA. Neither PURPA nor FERC’s regulations explicitly mention energy storage as an energy resource type that can make a facility eligible for QF status. However, in the 1990 case Luz Development and Finance Corp., FERC clarified that a storage facility is eligible for QF status if its primary energy source is one of those contemplated by the statute (biomass, renewable resources, geothermal resources or any combination thereof), but FERC has not yet considered how to treat paired storage projects. The addition of batteries violates generation sizing requirements under PURPA. This session will provide added guidance to address the broader scenario of battery storage-plus-renewable projects seeking QF status.

As forest fires in the Western U.S. become more ubiquitous and more destructive – taking human lives, destroying acres of forest, jeopardizing endangered species and habitats, and costing billions in property damage each year – the need for a solutions-based dialogue is imperative. The most effective strategies for forestry management…
Immersive technologies (augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, etc.) are being touted to utilities as the next “big thing”. How much of that is real and how much is hype? This one-day workshop will delve into the aspects of immersive technology that will help the utility executive understand that question.…
Today’s wholesale power markets administered by system operators (ISOs and RTOs) are a marvel of complexity. From their nascent stages in the 1990s as vehicles that facilitated more open access to the grid and stimulated competition with the objective of reducing electricity bills, they have evolved into sophisticated mechanisms that manage the flow of electrons across more than 30 U.S. states and Canadian provinces. The market designs continue to be refined as the technology enables greater granularity in pricing and scheduling and the system resource mixtures evolve. Continued refinements and enhancements help to ensure the most efficient possible operation of the system for reliably delivering the electricity to power customers.
Not surprisingly, it has been challenging for these massive wholesale power markets to operate efficiently and reliably yet still satisfy many, often competing, interests. This is especially true given the interplay of energy and capacity market mechanisms designed to ensure the development of resources to accommodate long-term grid sufficiency.
This conference will explore how the three types of wholesale markets – energy, capacity and reserves (ancillary services) – are achieving their specific missions of ensuring reliable and efficient electricity supply. It will consider how these different elements of the overall market design must interact and respond to current and ongoing power system changes, such as increases in demand response, multiplying distributed generation, the emergence of storage, environmental constraints, renewable energy proliferation, load stagnation, baseload generation erosion and other factors re-shaping the electricity industry. And it will examine the tensions markets are confronting as they work to balance traditional efficiency functions with state-sponsored and market participant initiatives that seek to incorporate financial externalities into market processes.

Revenue planning for jurisdictions with oil-dominant economies depends on how well oil production forecasts within these jurisdictions could be developed. Reservoir engineering techniques are required in forecasting oil production from online fields. Forecasting production from online fields often, even when done properly, still provide a conservative outlook for the jurisdiction because it excludes projects that could come online in the future. Forecasting production from probable, possible and of highly uncertain projects requires skills that go beyond the purview of typical reservoir engineering. This is where economic risking and statistical methods come in.
To conduct such forecasts, the forecaster is faced with the questions: will these new projects occur? If they occur, when could they occur? And if they occur, how could they contribute to production outlook for my region? How these questions are answered will determine how confident revenue planners can be in developing dependable short, medium and long term outlook for the region. Once that outlook is generated, another major hurdle for most technical analysts is to communicate clearly what these results mean? Without this half of the equation, the analysis results are not actionable for policy makers and other stakeholders.
This course examines techniques on how to conduct country level and basin wide forecasts. In addition, it will train you on how to communicate your results in a manner that informs planning for the future of your jurisdiction.
