SUMMARY:Energy Storage Technology and Regulatory Implications for Renewable Energy Power Supply
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 19\, 2021\, Attorney James Curry will be a co-presenter for Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation’s (RMMLF) “Energy Storage Technology and Regulatory Implications for Renewable Energy Power Supply.” This webinar will provide a primer on energy storage technology\, challenges facing electric utilities in incorporating energy storage on their systems\, and legal and regulatory opportunities and challenges for public utilities regulated by state commissions. Energy storage is becoming a more important part of electric utilities’ resource portfolios to serve power consumers. The increase in renewable energy in utility portfolios and abandonment of fossil fuel-fired baseload generation poses challenges for utilities to maintain reliable service for customers when wind and solar generation are not available or when intermittent generation does not match well with a utility’s peak consumption demands. Large power consumers\, including oil\, gas\, mining\, and processing companies\, can be particularly vulnerable to power reliability concerns and also want\, like all consumers\, to manage their electric power costs. Companies also may have internal policies or objectives that support “greener” approaches to power generation. Energy storage is a key piece of how utilities will incorporate more “green” power alternatives and provide reliable electric service. \nTopics to be covered in this webinar include: \n\nBasics of electric energy storage technologies\, including batteries.\n\n\nRecent and expected trends in costs of and incorporation of energy storage in utility systems.\n\n\nChallenges for electric utilities to incorporate storage on their system\, including matching energy dispatch with peak demand as it may change minute to minute as well as how it evolves seasonally and annually.\n\n\nLegal and regulatory opportunities and constraints\, including increasing renewable energy and zero carbon standards\, reliability requirements and measures\, and safety codes.\n\nFor more information\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:State Clean Transportation Initiatives: Stepping Toward Success for High EV Adoption
DESCRIPTION:Attorneys Julie Domike and Gina Falaschi will be co-panelists for the Environmental Law Institute’s “State Clean Transportation Initiatives: Stepping Toward Success for High EV Adoption” webinar on Tuesday\, November 10\, 2020. \nThe United States is experiencing a wave of state-led clean transportation initiatives that are gaining substantial momentum. Faced with insufficient action on the federal level to reduce greenhouse gas emissions\, states are focusing their efforts on the sector that produces the largest percentage of emissions: transportation. \nCalifornia has adopted low emission limits for light-duty vehicles and targeted transportation segments with new regulations\, such as the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation. Other states are requiring transportation network companies to curb emissions. Several states are forming new regional initiatives\, including the Transportation and Climate Initiative and the Multi-State Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicle Memorandum of Understanding. Still others are developing charging infrastructure initiatives\, expanding the grid to promote electric vehicles\, investing in electric vehicle government fleets and rebates for private customers\, and more. \nJoin ELI\, Babst Calland\, and leading panelists to explore these initiatives\, their potential impact\, and funding sources. Expert panelists will focus on steps state and local governments can take to partner with industry to facilitate increased electric vehicle adoption. Lastly\, panelists will dive into big issue topics such as the development of robust charging and grid infrastructure\, and allowing direct sales to consumers. \nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:EMLF’s 41st Annual Institute & Fall Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation (EMLF) for its 41st Annual Institute & Fall Symposium\, October 13\,-17 2020. \nDon Bluedorn \nAttorney Donald Bluedorn will co-present “Ethics: Implicit Bias in the Law Firm Setting.” Implicit Bias refers to when we have attitudes toward people or associate stereotypes without our conscious knowledge based on factors such as race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, gender identity\, and age. This presentation will address how discrimination is viewed in the model ethical rules\, the ABA efforts to emphasize discrimination as professional misconduct\, the recent Bostock decision extending employment protections to LGBTQ persons\, and answer questions such as  how does implicit/unknown bias affect hiring and other personnel decisions? How do implicit biases become subjective factors that influence objective employee evaluation categories? (e.g. associates may be evaluated based on an objective standard of hours billed\, but how do partner biases influence the work they are given and projects they are involved in that then generate these hours?). What are best practices for addressing implicit bias in yourself and in the workplace? \nAttorneys Ben Clapp\, Julie Domike and Kevin Garber will co-present “Implications of Growing Climate Change Momentum for the Energy Industry.” Increased public concern about addressing climate change has resulted in a building momentum of political and public pressure to transition to a low-carbon economy.  This pressure has spurred novel litigation theories\, far-reaching legislative proposals\, shareholder activism\, corporate climate change policies and other business responses. This program will address: \n\nSome of the sources of this this pressure – lenders\, investors\, insurers\nKey U.S. legal decisions and ongoing litigation related to climate change\nProminent federal and state legislation (including recent developments the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in the northeast states)\,\nHow corporations in the energy industry are reacting – corporate sustainability announcements and goals\, SEC filings\, restructuring and divestitures\n\nBen Clapp \nJulie Domike \nKevin Garber \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFor more information\, click here.
