Executive Roundtable

executive Roundtable: Renewable energy from the utility Perspective
Tuesday, September 20 - 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Power generation is now a mix of sources that includes both fossil and renewable fuels. the past few
years have seen many changes in that mix through a variety of drivers, including regulation pricing, sit-
ing and transmission constraints. Current events such as the congressional balance of power, nuclear
challenges in Japan, and turmoil in the Middle East make the business of operating a power generation
company more challenging than ever.

today, electric utilities must navigate through a complex landscape of regulations and keep a lookout
for price volatility as they meet consumer energy demand of customers. aging power plants, a shifting
landscape for fuel costs and public opinion add further complexity to this landscape. Competing priori-
ties of state and federal mandates and the needs of shareholders and customers also contribute to the
challenge of creating a clear vision of the best path forward.
