Managing Your Energy Portfolio in a Greener World:
Gasified Coal, Pulverized Coal and Renewables
January 18 - 19, 2007
Don Cesar Beach Resort
St. Pete Beach, FL
Conference Overview
Achieving a balanced energy portfolio in today's volatile energy markets has become
an even greater challenge than in the past. You are challenged to choose between
competing and constantly developing generation technologies while recognizing the
effect that as yet undetermined environmental requirements could have on any and
every choice that you make. Confronting the choice between investing in new IGCC
or pulverized coal generation requires up to date, independent analysis on both
a technological and capital and operating cost basis. It requires a look ahead at
emerging technologies realistically assessing their efficacy, scale and reliability
and estimating when they are likely to become commercially viable. Finally, the
scale and cost of developing new generating plants necessitates that you select
the best legal and financial structure and the most appropriate partners for pursuing
joint development of these generating facilities and the best partners.
This conference is designed to bring together leaders across the necessary disciplines
to give you and unvarnished perspective on these issues. Understanding the carbon
constrained world we are headed toward is a principle theme of this conference,
especially because this issue affects investment choices, including the role of
renewable energy in bringing balance to your portfolio.
When municipal entities, joint action agencies, electric cooperatives, investor-
owned utilities, and independent power developers engage in joint development, each
must understand and take into account the perspectives and needs of the other participants
to achieve the long-term operating goals. Avoiding the pitfalls of joint ownership
and joint decision making requires the straightforward market intelligence and legal
analysis that this conference will provide.
