Two attorneys and an economist will be presenting information on distributing power from alternative energy projects at a webinar taking place Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Attorneys Joe Hall and Bob Anderson from the Minneapolis-based law firm Dorsey & Whitney and economist Phil Hanser from the Brattle Group, Cambridge, Massachusetts, will focus on several issues relating to the successful and cost-effective deployment of distributed power generation.
According to the organizers of the webinar, topics discussed during the event will include:
- growth of distributed generation over the last 10 years;
- impact of the EPA Carbon Plan;
- the economics of local, community and utility-scale distributed generation;
- operational benefits and concerns;
- recent developments in rate design for feed-in tariffs and net metering;
- legal issues (public utility status, retail wheeling, PURPA (Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act), curtailment rights and privacy issues); and
- project finance and development.
Presenter Bob Anderson is the chair of Dorsey & Whitney’s Cleantech Industry Group and has worked with developers, bankers and strategic partners on the financing and development of biomass, waste-to-energy, bio-fuel, wind and solar facilities, according to the webinar’s organizers. His colleague Joseph Hall also has experience representing independent power producers and industrial customers.
