Tribal Webinar: Today's Energy Supply - Yesterday's Grid

Date: 5/30/2012

11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. MT
This webinar is part of a series provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs, DOE's Tribal Energy Program, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Green Power Partnership Program, and Western Area Power Administration (WAPA). The webinars promote tribal energy sufficiency and foster economic development and employment on tribal lands through the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

Tribes interested in responding to utility-offered renewable RFPs and/or interested in learning more about the competitive power market, utility staff, and other stakeholders should attend.

There is no charge to participate in the webinar. However, you must register.

This webinar will include an informative session and discussion on how utilities' generation portfolios are changing, often faster than the grid infrastructure that supports them, and the challenges utilities currently face in integrating new generation and demand (load) response technologies into a grid that was designed to operate a different way. Discussions will include transmission studies from the Western Grid Group and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

APPA Webinar: Strategic Planning for Utility Boards and City Councils

Date: 7/17/2012

Source: American Public Power Association

2:00 - 3:30 p.m. EDT
For 2012, the American Public Power Association is again offering a series of webinars designed for individuals serving on the governing bodies of public power utilities. These webinars were developed primarily for those who are new to public power governance responsibilities. Those who have served for a number of years on public power city councils and/or utility boards, or utility staff who regularly work with utility governing bodies, may also find these sessions worthwhile. The Strategic Planning for Utility Boards and City Councils webinar is part of this series.

Once legal and fiduciary duties are met, among the most important aspects of utility governance are establishing the mission/vision for the organization and setting the utility's direction, usually through the strategic planning process. This webinar will examine one of several approaches to utility strategic planning and explain the board and/or council's roles in that process.

Tribal Webinar: Grid Reliability - Impacts to Tribal Renewable Projects

Date: 7/25/2012

11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. MT
This webinar is part of a series provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs, DOE's Tribal Energy Program, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Green Power Partnership Program, and Western Area Power Administration (WAPA). The webinars promote tribal energy sufficiency and foster economic development and employment on tribal lands through the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

Tribes interested in responding to utility-offered renewable RFPs and/or interested in learning more about the competitive power market, utility staff, and other stakeholders should attend.

There is no charge to participate in the webinar. However, you must register.

In 2008, NERC reliability standards compliance became mandatory. This has raised the importance of compliance programs throughout the electric industry, as noncompliance can result in monetary sanctions. This webinar will provide an overview of the purpose and organization of a compliance program, what parts of the bulk electric system are in scope, the range of reliability standards affecting power operations and maintenance, responsible registered entities, and how tribal renewable projects can be impacted by reliability requirements.
