6:00-7:00pm Networking

7:00-7:30pm Presentation and discussion

Robin Quarrier, former WEN Board President, will give a brief presentation during the evening about her recent paper that explains how existing renewable energy certificate (REC) tracking systems can be used as an integral part of state compliance for EPA’s Clean Power Plan. These REC tracking systems, together with state policies designed to increase the production and use of renewable electricity, will be critical to states looking to use renewable energy like wind and solar to reduce the carbon intensity of their power sector.

This discussion will be invaluable for renewable energy advocates that are interested in participating in the Clean Air Act Section 111(d) comment period, closing October 16th, 2014. The paper can be downloaded here.
