Clean Energy Leaders to Speak at Wood Mackenzie’s North America Power & Renewables Conference
July 13 2021 - 9:00AM
President Joe Biden has ramped up the US climate goal to achieve a
50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 2005 levels.
The revised version of the CLEAN Future Act introduced earlier this
year by leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee signals
a path towards a substantial transformation of the US power sector.
Under the proposed legislation, a national clean energy standard
will mandate that all retail electricity suppliers provide an
increasing supply of clean electricity to consumers starting in
2023, rising to 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035.
Similar requirements will also affect the transportation,
building, and industrial sector, authorizing $565 billion in
federal spending over ten years to enable deep decarbonization.
As national energy regulators, utilities, renewable developers,
and institutional and private investors look to deliver on the US
decarbonization pledge, Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business
(Nasdaq:VRSK), will gather North American energy industry leaders
at its North America Power &
Renewables Conference on July 27 – July
28.
The digital conference brings together CEOs, policymakers,
entrepreneurs, investors, thought leaders and regulators to weigh
up the implications of the Biden Administration’s climate ambition
and discuss how the region can meet decarbonisation targets using
an already challenged power grid during extreme weather
conditions.
As well as exclusive presentations from Wood Mackenzie experts,
and a top-tier speaker line-up including representatives from the
U.S. Department of Energy, CAISO,
Goldman Sachs, Engie,
NYISO, Silicon Ranch, and
Citi, the North America Power & Renewables
Conference offers the opportunity to connect with leading renewable
developers and utilities. Delegates will also connect with
transmission operators, national and North American energy
regulatory bodies, investment entities and technology
providers.
Each day will include a breakout session enabling delegates to
