Event summary
Dr. Peter Fox-Penner is principal and chairman emeritus for The Brattle Group, a Washington D.C. consulting firm and a Ph.D. Economist from the University of Chicago who specializes in economic and regulatory consulting to electrical utilities. His most recent book, Smart Power: Climate Change, the Smart Grid, and the Future of Electric Utilities (Island Press: April, 2010), examines the impacts increased energy efficiency, the “Smart Grid,” and carbon constraints will have on the utility industry. He will also discuss the electric power grid, including how it’s current structure and regulation evolved, recent challenges, and an outlook for power generation and grid design. Dr. Fox-Penner is a frequent speaker on these topics and has delivered Smart Power presentations for the Institute for Electric Efficiency, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGC), the Gridwise Alliance, and more than ten universities. Smart Power is also widely used as a resource for utilities during strategic and regulatory planning.
