The EPA will be holding their Region 5 Green Historic Preservation Symposium. Attendees will engage in facilitated dialogue on key issues, incentives, barriers, potential solutions and policy changes required to successfully complete green historic preservation projects. A collection of best practices and success stories will also be developed. The symposium may also lead to creation of a “think tank” to advise EPA and other agencies within EPA’s sphere of influence on matters pertaining to green historic preservation. The target audience for the symposium includes experts, leaders and decision makers from industry, government, academia, and nonprofit organizations with knowledge of various aspects of green historic preservation.

The Smart Grid and Decoupling - Webinar, Lunch and Updates

December 16, 2009
11:30 amto1:30 pm

Where: Baker & Daniels LLP, 300 North Meridian Street, Suite 2700, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204
(Parking available at Central Park Garage, corner of New York and Illinois streets)
Remote login from your computer is available upon request

Baker & Daniels and B&D Consulting invite you to join us for the ninth webinar in our 2009 series focusing on clean energy and climate change and developed by the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) and the American Bar Association.

Federal legislation and DOE grants are promoting the “smart grid” but have not given extensive policy guidance. Meanwhile, state public utility commissions are experimenting with a variety of approaches to “decoupling” utility returns from megawatts sold. Smart grid technology can provide all the players with more information and more energy management capability, but unless utility incentives are aligned with the effort, distributed generation, energy efficiency and demand response will not develop as hoped. This program explores the interface between these two so far independent trends.

Baker & Daniels and B&D Consulting will provide brief federal and state updates prior to the webinar (updates start promptly at 11:40 a.m., and the webinar begins at noon). A light lunch is provided and networking and discussion follow the webinar.
