Three subject matter experts examine the legislative and compliance risks related to a national carbon policy in this 90-minute roundtable webinar.

Background

Greenhouse gas and energy legislation are imminent and utilities need to understand the complicated market dynamics to hedge their risk and forecast for the future. Legislation and potential costs incurred as a result of curbing GHG emissions are arguably the biggest current uncertainty in a utility's risk profile.

In this webinar, a roundtable of experts will help you understand the risks and opportunities inherent in overlapping state, regional and federal markets and the current and expected interaction of the various compliance instruments such as RECs and VERs.
