Reducing emissions from the electricity sector requires a shift to low- and zero-emitting technologies over time. Join the Conveners’ Network for a webinar exploring low- and zero-carbon technologies available for natural gas-fired electricity generation.
    

The symposium will explore how energy and water utilities balance changing demands alongside fluctuating resource availability, as well as lessons that both sectors can learn from each other pertaining to financing, affordability, and resource efficiency and conservation.

This event is sponsored by the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and the Duke University Energy Initiative.

Join a conversation about conflicts and consensus building around energy policy decisions and infrastructure projects, including solar and wind energy production projects, pipelines, and transmission lines. Hosted by the Institute for Policy Integrity at the NYU School of Law and the Environmental Defense Fund.

The 13th Annual Duke University Energy Conference is a free event focusing on our theme of Achieving Climate Commitments.

How will we meet our climate goals and transition to a carbon-neutral energy system over the coming decades? At the 13th Annual Duke University Energy Conference on Wednesday, Nov. 10, industry experts representing private and public sector organizations across the energy value chain will discuss the transition pathways, advanced technologies, and significant investments critical to the energy transition.

In this webinar, the AAAS EPI Center will convene noted experts and practitioners to discuss the scientific evidence that can inform federal, state, regional, and local efforts to mitigate methane emissions and their contributions to changing climatic conditions and to identify the most pressing issues related to potential changes in the regulation of methane emissions from the oil and gas industry. This will be an interactive event designed to share existing information, surface knowledge gaps, and discuss constraints to the implementation of evidence-informed solutions.

Jen Weiss, Senior Policy Associate, will lead a discussion on "Exploring the Opportunities of the NC Clean Energy Fund" as part of the 2021 Appalachian Energy Summit.

The Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University, in partnership with Appalachian Voices and North Carolina Justice Center, invites you to join the Southeast Energy Insecurity Stakeholder Initiative, which will kick-off on Thursday, May 27, from 1–4 p.m. The purpose of the Initiative is to facilitate a broad, collaborative discussion among stakeholders to explore the opportunities for reducing energy insecurity in the Southeast.

Kate Konschnick, Director, Climate and Energy Program, will participate in the panel discussion, "The Interplay between the VCEA and Federal and State Policies, including the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)" as part of the Thirty-eighth Annual National Regulatory Conference, May 26-27, 2021. Panelists will explore the role of the VCEA in the broader framework of Virginia and Federal energy policies, including Virginia's participation in RGGI.

Jennifer Weiss, Senior Policy Associate, Climate and Energy Program, will participate in a keynote plenary, "North Carolina's Clean Energy Plan: Overview and Progress," on April 22 at 9:45–10:30 a.m, as part of the NC State Energy Conference.

The State Energy Conference provides actionable insight into the business of energy, connecting technical innovation, diverse resources and industry opportunity to help drive North Carolina's regional energy economy forward with national impact. It will be held virtually April 19-22.

Kate Konschnik and Brian Murray will discuss energy and utilities as part of the "Beyond Talking Points: What’s in Store for the New Administration and Congress?" seminar series on March 5.

With the 2020 election now behind us, what can we expect next in Washington, D.C.?

Last week, an extreme cold front swept through the middle of the country, and people in Texas suffered dramatic impacts as the state’s grid was subject to blackouts.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is hosting this conference to discuss carbon pricing in states within organized wholesale electricity markets. Kate Konschnik will be among the panelists in the opening session on "Legal Considerations for State-Adopted Carbon Pricing and RTO/ISO Markets."

In this virtual event organized by the Duke University Energy Initiative, get insights from Duke experts on topics like energy access, electrification and automation of transportation, diversification of energy sources and technologies, and pursuit of decarbonization policy goals.
