SUMMARY:2025 Power Markets Conference
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Thursday\, January 16 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm\nWHERE: Boston University\, Center for Computing & Data Sciences\, 665 Commonwealth Avenue \nA major transformation is underway in our energy system\, driven by state and federal policies seeking to spur renewable development\, electrify the economy\, and slash carbon emissions by mid-century. These policies\, and the rapid changes they have catalyzed\, are putting immense pressure on current power market design. Looking ahead\, can markets be redesigned to achieve reliability and carbon reductions while remaining economical—and what are the tradeoffs and the ways to minimize the impact? Or\, ultimately\, is the impact of this transformation so large that the solution must be something other than market based? Please join us on January 16\, 2025\, for a robust discussion on these questions.

SUMMARY:NECA 2022 Fuels Conference
DESCRIPTION:Energy Security\, Price\, and Decarbonization: Is This the Winter of Our Discontent?\nWhen Mark Twain reportedly observed that history does not repeat itself\, but if often rhymes\, he may have been speaking about the state of the fuel supply situation in New England.  Recent events and price shocks have drawn renewed attention to the uncomfortable reality facing the region: it is energy-insecure during extreme weather conditions.  This vulnerability is a feature\, not a bug\, as these challenges have been the subject of numerous stakeholder discussions\, meetings and proposals for over a decade.  Now\, with Winter 2022-2023 only a few months away\, and with several of the region’s states pursuing ambitious decarbonization goals\, curtailments and service interruptions are no longer remote possibilities.  Join NECA on Thursday\, September 29\, 2022\, at the NECA Fuels Conference\, for an informative and engaging discussion with industry experts and representatives for their perspectives on the current situation\, and what it means for the region for both this winter\, as well as for the future.

SUMMARY:NECA's The Challenges to Achieving Climate Change and Energy Infrastructure Goals in New England:  Different Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Climate legislation codifying greenhouse gas reduction goals were passed at the federal\, state and local levels in 2021. In order to meet these ambitious goals\, new renewable energy sources and new energy infrastructure connecting renewable energy resources to the grid or supporting transitional electric generation are needed\, yet these infrastructure projects are meeting opposition. Natural gas pipelines also play a role in achieving a transition to a greater clean energy society. Recently\, the construction of the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) transmission line was halted after Maine voted against the corridor project in a referendum. Northern Pass\, another transmission project to tie clean energy from Canada to southern New England\, was similarly halted. The slow advancement of offshore wind and certain resistance to solar projects are further complicating our ability to meet the energy goals that have been set for the period between 2030 and 2050. \nCome hear experts discuss their experiences and perspectives on siting new renewable and electric transmission facilities necessary to meet Climate Change goals. \nWednesday\, June 22\, 9-11 am\nModerator: Tracy Adamski\, Vice President\, Tighe & Bond\nPanel: Stakeholder Perspective\nCaitlin Peale Sloan\, Vice President for Massachusetts\, Conservation Law Foundation\nMegan Aconfora\, Public Involvement Specialist\, Burns & McDonnell\nJennie Chen\, Senior Manager\, Clean Energy\, World Resources Institute\nJanet Gail Besser\, Vice President\, Regulatory and Business Innovation\, Smart Electric Power Alliance \nThursday\, June 23\, 1-3 pm\nModerator: Will Dodge\, Partner & Practice Group Chair\, Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC\nPanel: Developer Perspective\nTJ Roskelley\, Partner\, Anderson & Kreiger LLP\nJoe Rossignoli\, Consultant\, Ross Emergent LLC\nRob Jackson\, Director – Solar/Storage Project Development\, Ameresco\nSteve Elliott\, Director – Business Development & Marketing\, Enbridge

SUMMARY:NECA's Solar Facilities and Noise Regulation: Managing Legal and Business Risks
DESCRIPTION:When noise and renewable energy are mentioned in the same sentence\, most of us think first of wind turbines.  However\, solar energy facilities also use noise-producing equipment and must be designed and operated to comply with state and municipal noise requirements.  Join Michael Bahtiarian from Acentech and Betsy Mason from Klavens Law Group\, P.C. to learn what solar facility components are subject to such regulation\, what requirements apply\, what noise control measures are available to assist in achieving compliance\, and when and how developers can incorporate noise regulation compliance into project planning.  These speakers will also cover strategic considerations that are relevant to all energy facilities—traditional and renewable—including understanding and mitigating the regulatory/enforcement risks of noncompliance\, and emerging best practices for protecting against potential legal transactional risks (e.g.\, when performing part of due diligence in acquisitions\, or drafting an EPC contract).

SUMMARY:NECA's Carbon Capture Event
DESCRIPTION:The goal of decarbonization is to reduce or eliminate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions\, as well as other pollutants\, from the energy grid. However\, that will not occur overnight. Renewable energy sources such as hydrogen\, wind\, and solar are still a long way away from being the predominant source of energy. Whether you like it or not\, our economy will continue to rely on fossil fuels as it builds towards a greener future. So\, what do we do in the meantime? \nCarbon capture offers the potential to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions from large stationary sources. It comes in many practical forms too. CO2 pipelines\, geologic sequestration wells\, direct air capture\, forestry\, and even aquaculture are just some of the methods used to sequester CO2. This market potential has not gone unnoticed. The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill earmarked billions of dollars towards the development of carbon capture projects. Exxon Mobil Corp.\, Royal Dutch Shell\, and TC Energy have all announced major carbon capture projects as part of a drive to reduce both their own and their customers’ emissions. Exxon is even forecasting that carbon capture could become a $2 trillion market by 2040. However\, some critics think that carbon capture is too expensive. Others think that is just a way for fossil fuel companies to keep operating without actually changing the way they do business. Can carbon capture deliver on its potential? Can it help us achieve our emissions reduction goals? \nThe Fuels Committee of the Northeast Energy and Commerce Association invite you to attend a special Winter Wednesday Webinar that will explore this topic. Hear from our panel of carbon capture industry experts about the latest developments and technology being implemented around the world.

SUMMARY:NECA's Transportation Electrification Event
DESCRIPTION:Accelerating Transportation Electrification in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts \nThe Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ 2050 Decarbonization Roadmap set a GHG emissions reduction target for the next decade at 50% reduction below the 1990 level in 2030 and at least net zero statewide greenhouse gas emissions in 2050. In the Clean Energy and Climate Plan (CECP) for 2025 and 2030\, a blueprint was established that outlined the strategies\, policies\, and actions that will put the Commonwealth on a pathway to achieve our 2050 decarbonization goals\, equitably and affordably\, with major new initiatives advancing decarbonization of buildings\, transportation\, and electricity sectors. Many opportunities for public engagement exist to help craft the CECP but what’s a good introduction to how Massachusetts will make transportation electrification (TE) a reality on a massive scale? With electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers and EV charging equipment suppliers revving up their engines to meet this demand\, a clear understanding of the MA transportation market characteristics\, utility programs\, state incentives and interactions with other market sectors and programs is needed\, as well as knowing how to navigate federal efforts to build up resilient\, fast-charging grid infrastructure. Join NECA’s panel of industry experts that will share their perspectives on this exciting movement toward TE\, the opportunities it presents as well as what they think will be in store for 2022 and beyond.
