The Electric Utility Industry and Power Markets How is the electric utility industry dealing with rising energy costs, increased demand and restructuring? What role do FERC, RTOs and power marketers play in shaping the wholesale and retail power markets? Where do state utility commissions fit into the "big picture" of state electric industries? Moderator: Bill Julian, California (PowerPoint Presentation) Panelists: Lisa Crutchfield, PECO Energy Company (PowerPoint Presentation) Commissioner Richard Morgan, District of Columbia (PowerPoint Presentation) Marilyn Showalter, Public Power Council (PowerPoint Presentation) Curt Seidlits, TXU (PowerPoint Presentation)

Energy Efficiency and the Electronics Industry How can the electronics industry engage in reducing power demand?  What efforts have they already taken to implement improvements in the usage and design of their products? Panelists: Mark Newton, Dell (PowerPoint Presentation) Doug Johnson, Consumer Electronics Association (PowerPoint Presentation)

Energy Interconnection: Thinking Outside the Box Energy infrastructure is an intricate network of generation facilities, pipelines and transmission lines.  Beyond this complex layer of the energy system are links to many other sectors, such as resource extraction, transportation and communications.  Our reliance on the energy infrastructure emphasizes the need to recognize the interconnections between these sectors.   This session covers the connections among the energy infrastructure and other critical networks that rely on and support the energy network.  Panelists: William Cooper, The Center for Liquefied Natural Gas  (PowerPoint Presentation) Mike Howard, Electric Power Research Institute  (PDF Presentation) Martin Edwards, Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (PowerPoint Presentation)

The Reliance of Energy Fuel Suppliers on Transportation Infrastructure How are fuel supplies linked to railroad infrastructure?  What are the impacts on fuel price and availability as well as new power plant planning and construction? Panelists: Craig Rockey, Association of American Railroads (PowerPoint Presentation)

Concurrent Session: Making the Link Between Energy and the Environment A switch is flipped and it is expected that a light will turn on. But how is that power generated? What are the environmental consequences associated with power generation? From emissions of air pollutants to excessive water consumption in drought stricken areas, energy production and the environment are inextricably linked. This session will explore the cause and effect relationship between power generation and the environment. Panelists: Edward Leonard - Center for Energy and Economic Development (PowerPoint Presentation) Dennis Kearns - BNSF Railroad (PowerPoint Presentation) Roger Kranenburg - Edison Electric Institute (PowerPoint Presentation) Brad Heavner - Environment Maryland (PowerPoint Presentation)
