Beneficial Electrification and Electric Vehicles: A Look at the Impact on the Power Sector Moderator: Lisa Frantzis, Senior Managing Director, AEE

PANELISTS • Mark Cosby, Evergy

• Phil Flaherty, Bidgely

• Colin Murchie, EVgo

• Bill Murray, Dominion Energy

2

“Beneficial electrification” is the new buzzword for the electric power system,

but what does success look like? Electrifying transportation will be a critical

component, and electric vehicle integration is one challenge to be discussed.

Location: E21B Breakout 1-B

Business Models for Energy Storage and Distributed Energy Resources in Wholesale Markets Moderator: Dylan Reed, Director, AEE

PANELISTS • Chris Ashley, EnergyHub

• Chris Kallaher, Direct Energy

• Marc Monbouquette, eMotorWerks

• Ted Thomas, Arkansas Public Service Commission

FERC has taken steps to open the wholesale markets to participation by energy

storage resources and distributed energy resources located on the distribution

grid or behind the meter. Advanced energy technology companies are working

hard on business models to take advantage of this massive revenue

opportunity, while states and distribution utilities are expressing concerns

bout impacts on their own jurisdiction, programs, and operations. Panelists will

discuss these new business models and how jurisdictional and other concerns

are being addressed.

Location: E21C Breakout 1-C

Unlocking New Opportunities for Voluntary Renewable Buyers Moderator: Caitlin Marquis, Director, AEE

PANELISTS • Michael Avidan, Recurrent Energy

• Ted Romaine, Invenergy

• Ali Rotatori, Rocky Mountain Institute

• John Stephenson, Amazon

Businesses have purchased over 15 GW of renewable energy over the past six

years, yet projects are still concentrated among a handful of leading states and

a limited universe of large corporations. What can we learn from the first 15

GW that will help to accelerate the expansion of this market into new states—

like the Southeast—and to new buyers—like cities and universities?

Strong Winds Blow for Offshore Wind: Which Region Will Capture the Benefits? Moderator: Ryan Katofsky, Managing Director, AEE

PANELISTS • Tom Carlson, EDF Renewable Energy

• Abby Watson, Siemens Gamesa

• Fred Zalcman, Ørsted

The US offshore wind industry is rapidly scaling, with leases shattering prior

auction prices and major project announcements up and down the East Coast.

This session will explore the transformative potential of the offshore wind

industry, the different approaches states are taking, current challenges

hindering its growth, and what states can do to maximize job creation.

Location: E21B Breakout 2-B:

Role of Energy Efficiency on a Clean Energy Grid Moderator: J.R. Tolbert, Managing Director, AEE

PANELISTS • Andrew Burch, CLEAResult

• Rick Counihan, Google

• Larry Cummings, Trane/Ingersoll Rand

• Anna Pavlova, Schneider Electric

Is energy efficiency still the least cost next kilowatt-hour? With relatively flat

load growth and a cleaner grid, what is the role of energy efficiency? This panel

will explore the continued benefits of energy efficiency and what policies are

needed to unlock its potential in states like Virginia.

Location: E21C Breakout 2-C

Emerging Best Practices in Distribution and Generation Planning and Procurement Moderator: Harry Godfrey, Director, AEE

PANELISTS • Matthew Crosby, Lincoln Clean Energy

• Forrest Small, Concentric Energy Advisors

• Douglas Staker, Enel X

4

Many states have recently begun to reconsider how they undertake both utility-

scale generation and distribution-level resource planning as well as resource

procurement, spurred on by rapid improvements and cost declines in advanced

energy technologies. What are emerging best practices in integrated resource

planning and distribution system planning? In utility-scale and distributed non-

wires alternatives (NWA) procurements?

12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

Location: E10

PLENARY PANEL: STATE LEADERSHIP FOR ADVANCED ENERGY NOW Moderator: Steve Caminati, Director of Strategic Engagement, Apex Clean

Energy

PANELISTS • Chris Bast, Deputy Director, Department of Environmental Quality, Virginia

• Kelley Burk, Director, Office of Energy, Department of Agriculture and

Consumer Services, Florida

• Anna Lising, Associate Director, Department of Energy & Environment,

Washington, D.C.

• Jeremy Tarr, Policy Advisor for Environment, Energy, and Transportation,

Office of Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina

While gridlock in DC continues, states across the region are charting their own

course to ensure a future that is powered by advanced energy. For some states

this means participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, for others it

is a focus on expanding clean energy deployment from its utilities as they

transition away from fossil fuels. This session will examine the strategies that

states are deploying to transition to a carbon-restrained economy that

embraces the suite of solutions advanced energy provides.

1:40 pm - 2:30 pm BREAKOUT SESSION 3 (CHOOSE ONE)

Location: E21A Breakout 3-A

Valuing Reliability, Resilience and "Fuel Security" – Imperative, Opportunity, or Threat? Moderator: Joel Eisen, Professor of Law, University of Richmond

PARTICIPANTS • Ned Bartlett, Veolia

• Jeff Dennis, AEE

• Audrey Lyke, Exelon

Advanced energy technologies are changing the historic resource mix on the

grid, challenging the market share of traditional power sources and requiring

5

new ways of thinking about wholesale market design and bulk power system

operating practices. Debates over the pace of this change, and its impacts,

have added new concepts like “resilience” and “fuel security” to traditional

debates over reliability. This panel will address several questions raised by

these new concepts, including: What does it mean to be “resilient” to threats

like severe weather or physical attack? How do resilience considerations

interact with clean energy goals?

Location: E21B Breakout 3-B

Optimizing Rate Design for Electric Vehicles Moderator: Matt Stanberry, Managing Director, AEE

PANELISTS • Tom Ashley, Greenlots

• Patrick Bean, Tesla

• Jim Bruce, UPS

Good rate design is key to ensuring that drivers see financial benefit from EV

adoption and to enabling the grid benefits and ratepayer savings that EVs can

provide. This session will explore rate design options that send the right price

signals to customers and facilitate the growth of EVs.

Location: E21C Breakout 3-C

Utility Business Model Innovation: Emerging Trends and Best Practices Moderator: Anne Reynolds, Alliance for Clean Energy New York

PANELISTS • Jane Park, ComEd

• Hannah Polikov, AEE

• Marisa Uchin, Oracle

We have seen continued conversation around the country about the suitability

of the traditional cost-of-service regulatory model as the energy landscape

changes and how the model may be able to evolve to a system that better

reflects new market conditions, allows utilities to take advantage of the

growing service economy, and rewards performance against established goals

rather than inputs--with recent examples from NY to PA to RI to OH to IL to

ME. What’s happening where and why? What best practices are emerging?

2:40 pm - 3:25 pm

Location: E10
