Information on the Series: Energy Law For Non-Energy Attorneys
A three-part series designed to introduce non-energy attorneys to energy law by looking at the legal and regulatory framework and issues in domestic energy production, energy distribution, and energy consumption.
The energy market continues to evolve, and this evolution brings with it business opportunities and risks. But energy growth and environmental impacts are increasingly intertwined through complicated federal and state regulations. To practice in today's world and to take advantage of new opportunities in the energy sector, environmental, real estate, corporate, non-profit, and other lawyers need to understand energy or at least be able to identify energy issues. This series, a collaborative effort between the American Law Institute CLE (ALI CLE) and the Environmental Law Institute (ELI), allowed audience members to do just that.
The series was composed of The Regulatory Framework of Domestic Energy Production (September 29), Getting Energy to Market (October 3), and Electricity Consumption (October 8).
NOTE: This series replay was originally presented in March-April, 2014. Questions submitted during the program will be answered by email within two business days after the program. In addition, all registrants will receive a set of downloadable course materials and free access to the archived online program.
Electricity Consumption
In this final session, our expert faculty examined legal and policy issues of energy consumption. How can we expect greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector to be regulated? What is the electric consumption market structure and what is the role of utilities? How reliable and resilient is our current electricity infrastructure and what are the options for increasing both measures?
- What is the electric utility model?
- How will greenhouse gas emissions be regulated?
- What does it mean for an energy system to be reliable and resilient?
