Powering Economic Development - Navigating Energy Infrastructure and Policy

Tuesday, January 14, 2025

1-2:30 p.m.

In today’s competitive economic landscape, the availability, distribution, and cost of energy can make or break a development project. This in-depth webinar is designed for economic development professionals seeking to understand the critical intersection of power infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and site readiness.

Join a panel of experts as they break down the essential components of energy planning for economic development, including:

Utility Structure and Power Distribution: A high-level overview of how energy systems are structured and how power is distributed to meet modern development needs.
Trends in Energy Demands: Insights into current Request for Proposals (RFPs) and the growing energy requirements for industries like data centers and Industry 4.0.
Site Energy Accommodation: An exploration of the process used to ensure a site can meet the energy demands of prospective projects, including challenges and opportunities.
Addressing Energy Capacity Gaps: Why sites often lack existing energy capacity and how studies (Indicative, System Impact, and Generation Impact) guide planning.
Regulatory and Logistical Challenges: Unpacking timeline-critical factors like Certificates of Authority, Certificates of Public Necessity and Convenience, and transformer lead times.
Energy Rates and Policy: A view into rate structures, Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) governance, and their role in shaping energy costs for development.
Site Requirements: A practical guide to evaluating site characteristics and ensuring energy alignment with project needs.

This 90-minute webinar will feature expert presentations and discussions, offering practical insights into navigating energy challenges for successful economic development. Whether you're focused on large-scale industrial projects, community development, or policy advocacy, this session will arm you with actionable knowledge and strategies.
