SUMMARY:Special Transmission Webinar Series - Part 2: Permitting
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Recording \n\nAbout the Series: ESIG has just completed a broad stakeholder review of the transmission implications of moving towards very high levels of decarbonization and renewable energy at a national level. The issues associated with a large transmission network spanning the continent can be generally grouped into the areas of transmission planning\, permitting and paying\, covered in this extended 3-part webinar. The first webinar on planning will be presented by Rob Gramlich of Grid Strategies. Rob is a well-known figure nationally in this area\, and will cover the drivers for a broad\, geographical approach to planning. The topic of permitting will be presented by Bret Sumner\, a practicing lawyer well versed in the practical aspects of project permitting on public and private lands. The third topic to be addressed\, paying\, or cost allocation\, will be covered by Steve Gaw\, Senior Vice President of Markets and Infrastructure for the Advanced Power Alliance.  \n \nPart 2: Permitting\nFeatured Speaker: Bret Sumner\, Senior Partner\, Beatty & Wozniak \nBret Sumner is a senior partner at the energy law firm of Beatty & Wozniak. Bret’s practice focuses on large scale development projects within the whole energy spectrum from conventional to renewable energy; with a focus on permitting and compliance issues\, litigation\, and corporate energy policy. Bret specializes in advising clients with projects and permitting issues involving multiple states and jurisdictions (federal\, state and local) and a wide range of industry\, eNGO\, agricultural\, local government\, and other stakeholder interests. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A. Please submit your questions and follow-along during the event at this link. \nWebinar Abstract: Developing comprehensive and proactive permitting strategies are a must for efficient business planning\, allocation of capital\, and construction scheduling for large scale infrastructure projects spanning multiple states and jurisdictions. Electric transmission project proponents face significant complex permitting challenges involving a multitude of land access\, environmental\, regulatory\, and government affairs issues at the federal\, state and local levels. These issues can result in costly delays and stranded capital\, and serve only to increase uncertainties with respect to obtaining required federal\, state and local permits and authorizations. This presentation will provide an overview of key permitting issues that often hinder permitting\, with an example on western federal land access\, as well as potential strategies to minimize these risks.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Developing an Engineering Framework to Support Australia’s Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Developing an Engineering Framework to Support Australia’s Energy Transition\nDownload Presentation \nView Recording \n\nFeatured Speaker: Christian Schaefer\, General Manager\, Energy Systems Engineering\, Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) \nChristian is an electrical engineer with almost 25 years’ experience building\, commissioning and operating transmission networks\, thermal power stations and renewable generation. He currently leads the Energy Systems Engineering department at AEMO\, providing engineering oversight to the transmission planning and design teams of the Australian National Electricity Market Operator\, power system incident root cause analysis\, energy system integration analysis\, and specialist engineering studies and data management. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A. Please submit your questions and follow-along during the event at this link. \nWebinar Abstract: Australia is a world leader in the rate of adoption of renewable energy. This webinar will describe AEMO’s proposal for an Engineering Framework to provide an integrated roadmap for the National Electricity Market’s energy transition. \nThe Engineering Framework seeks to provide an up-to-date foundation regarding emerging power system design and operability needs\, as a complement to existing work being progressed across industry\, recognizing that in managing the energy transition\, no one organization has all the answers. Hence\, the Engineering Framework is intended to help stakeholders stay informed of the changing technical needs of the power system\, the work underway to meet these changing needs\, how the different pieces fit together\, and how they can engage on topics of interest. This framework is also needed to structure industry discussions around the prioritization of future work\, so that the most urgent issues are addressed first. \nThe Engineering Framework is structured around the three pillars of: system integration\, system attributes and system operability\, and describes a number focus areas within these. \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nAbout G-PST Consortium \nThe chief executive officers of National Grid Electricity System Operator UK\, California Independent System Operator (CAISO)\, Electric Reliability Council of Texas\, Australia Energy Market Operator (AEMO)\, Ireland’s System Operator (EirGrid)\, and Denmark’s System Operator (Energinet) are champions in developing the consortium mission and activities. Importantly\, these system operators are leading a Research Agenda Group to identify common\, cutting-edge research questions that can inform large- scale national research and development investments. Relevant results and lessons from this process will be broadly shared for learning across all countries. The Consortium is also partnering with around 10 emerging economy and developing country system operators from Africa\, Asia\, Latin America and Eastern Europe who will also guide the G-PST vision and collaborate with the Consortium to advance power system transformation with a focus on technical collaboration\, peer learning and exchange\, and workforce development to support local PST priorities. \nA core team\, including the Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG)\, Imperial College London\, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)\, Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence for Integrated Energy Systems\, National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE)\, IEEE\, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)\, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)\, the Danish Technical University (DTU)\, and ASEAN Center for Energy\, is actively developing the consortium and will be engaged in implementation of technical work as well as coordinating specific pillars. \nInternational agencies and multilateral and regional development banks\, including World Bank\, United States Agency for International Development (USAID)\, German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ)\, International Energy Agency (IEA)\, Asian Development Bank (ADB)\, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and others are serving as key implementing partners to ensure the consortium complements and reinforces existing programs. \n For more information on the G-PST visit https://globalpst.org/.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Transmission Planning for 100% Clean Electricity
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Recording \n\nEarlier this year\, ambitious goals were established at the federal level\, including a plan for 100 percent clean electricity by 2035 and net-zero emissions across the economy by 2050. Reaching these goals efficiently will require action on a transformative scale\, doubling or tripling the size and scale of the nation’s existing transmission system. Proactive national transmission planning is critical to meeting the current goals quickly and affordably. \nDuring five separate sessions in late 2020\, ESIG convened a broad range of power systems experts\, who reviewed and synthesized the key research studies investigating energy sector decarbonization and developed a conceptual design for reaching America’s clean energy goals using proactive transmission planning and development. \nDownload Report \nDuring this webinar\, the facilitators of those sessions will discuss the findings and conclusions from this work. \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nFeatured Speakers: Lauren Azar\, Consultant;  Aaron Bloom\, ESIG;  Debbie Lew\, ESIG;  Alison Silverstein\, Consultant;  Bob Zavadil\, EnerNex \nLauren Azar\nAaron Bloom\nDebbie Lew\nAlison Silverstein\nBob Zavadil\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

Please submit your questions and follow-along during the event at this link. \nWebinar Abstract: Building needed infrastructure is more than just planning. Before it can be built there must also be a mechanism to pay for it. In fact\, transmission planning and cost allocation have proven to be nearly inseverable when addressing infrastructure needs. Over the last two decades we have gone from having stagnant infrastructure development in the Midwest\, to significant investment\, to another slow down. We know what has worked and what has not. But will the cost allocation solutions of the past help solve today’s infrastructure slow down and the needs of tomorrow\, especially in the midst of one of the biggest periods of change in the electric industry’s history? What are the challenges we face looking forward? And what are potential solutions that will move us to optimal solutions for the grid and fairness in the way we pay for them?
