As regulators begin to transform California’s electric utilities from the classic model of top-down, one-way delivery service into a distributed system with microgrid resources that manage a host of dispersed generation and storage sources, how is the regulatory and market landscape shifting? Finally, what resources exist for project developers attempting to build community resilience, and where do potential public-private synergies exist?Īdm. The growth of solar, wind, and storage continue to alter the energy landscape.

This panel will address strategies that local jurisdictions can take-from zoning and city planning decisions to permit streamlining and economic development incentives - and the touchpoints in the regulatory, policy and planning authority of local governments-that can be leveraged to influence carbon emissions within their jurisdictions. But greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector continue to rise. In the past decade, California has made significant strides to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sectors across its economy- leading the way on vehicle electrification, tailpipe emissions regulations, and investment in multi-modal transit.

To what extent have Trump's efforts to end California’s emissions waiver or cap-and-trade program impacted markets? This plenary panel will explore the conflicting political and market forces driving policy and economics of climate change at the local, state, and federal levels with a panel of leaders in industry, government, and politics.
