UNPLUGGED: THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SPEAKER SERIES

The promise of the Smart Grid is great: a more resilient and efficient electricity system that can support a high concentration of renewable generation, electric vehicles, and more. And just as the Smart Grid may transform the physical electricity infrastructure, it may also transform both how we think about energy and how we interact with our energy providers. In our final Smart Grid mini-series panel, legal and energy policy experts will help us understand those more personal implications of the Smart Grid, including active and passive demand management, smart meters, time-of-use pricing, as well as the consumer and privacy issues that they raise.

Panelists:

• Tim Sullivan, California Public Utilities Commission, Assistant Chief Law Judge (moderator)
• Karen Zelma, Director of Pricing Products, Pacific Gas & Electric
• Marcel Hawiger, Attorney, TURN - The Utility Reform Network
• Jennifer Urban, Assistant Clinical Prof
