Transmission Policy Reform and the Future Renewable Energy

Please join us this Thursday, July 28th, for our Panel Discussion, Transmission Policy Reform:  What does this mean for Renewables?  A quality group of experts will to shed light on how the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order No 1000 will open doors for growth renewable industry.  This lunchtime panel will begin at 12noon at our NDN event space, 729 15th Street NW.

Bill White, of the Energy Future Coalition, is a well respected leader in the clean energy community.  Bill will outline the main provisions of the FERC ruling. 

Joe Kelliher was the Chairman  of FERC from 2005-2009 and currently the Vice President of the Florida based NextEra Energy.  Joe will give the perspective of NextEra Energy, a major wind developer.  His presentation will cover how the FERC ruling on regional cost sharing changes the picture for wind developers by ensuring a more balanced and fair cost allocation for the building of transmission lines which will enable more wind development nationwide.

Nina Plaushin is the Vice President of Federal and Legislative Affairs at  ITC Holdings, and will present  the perspective of transmission developer.  Her presentation will look at how the ruling creates a new framework where interstate, regional, and interregional transmission projects may be fully considered and then linked to cost allocation authority.  This new framework will allow large scale transmission proposals to receive a fair evaluation that accounts for all of the benefits they generate for an entire region.

Tom Vinson, Director of Regulatory Affairs at American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), represents the perspective of the renewable energy industry.  Wind’s growth has been phenomenal, in fact, the largest source of new energy generation installed. This FERC ruling will result in more reasonable costs for building new transmission lines enabling wind and other renewable resources to take a far larger share of the energy market.

Michael Moynihan, the Director of our Clean Energy Initiative, will address what this new ruling will mean for the broader public.  Building new transmission lines may not mean anything to the public in general but it might mean a great deal if they knew the positive implications of new transmission lines for cleaner energy

Make sure to RSVP today. We hope to see you there, and if you can’t make it be sure to check out our live webcast.

SOUTH AFRICA: Sound Policy Key to Renewable Energy

A radical rethink of current energy policy can cut South Africa’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent in 2050 compared to 1990 levels. More than that – after an initial spike in investment – South Africans four decades down the line would pay 23 billion dollars per year less for their electricity compared to business as usual.

Obama’s Policy of Education for all Bearing Fruits

Education is the root of your future. The stronger the roots the better is your future. Most students in United States give up education to get jobs to support their families or sometimes to support themselves when they leave homes.

Graduation isn’t just a college degree, it’s a certificate that can get a person a better job and better prospects in his or her life. Completing your graduation can get you started in the corporate ladder. Most of the times people don’t have enough money to complete their education. To counter this problem grants are given out to aspiring students who would like to do their graduation.

Obama’s scholarship for mothers is one such grant provided to single mothers who are looking to complete their education to move up in life and take better care of their children. This program is an encouragement to all mothers who want to study and have a chance at a better life.

The grant provides the student with finances to take care of expenses such as tuition fees, books, computer etc. When majority of your expenses are paid and you have the option to choose a full time or an online tutoring course it is not a bad idea to start getting educated today itself.

The application for the grant is submitted through the institute chosen by you by filling a “FAFSA” form. On approval you will be notified. The screening process is based on factors like your financial condition and the dependants on you.
