Caitlin Shields and Matt Larson are teaching a lunch and learn course on the Clean Power Plan for HDR Engineering, Inc. in Denver, Colorado. If upheld, the Clean Power Plan would establish EPA’s most sweeping set of regulations ever enacted, transforming America’s electricity sector. The mandatory emission reductions contemplated in the Clean Power Plan, whether enacted in its current form or otherwise, will present numerous challenges and opportunities in the U.S. energy economy. Caitlin Shields and Matt Larson will provide an overview of renewable energy policy and regulation, the Clean Power Plan, and potential impacts on fossil fuel interests. They will also provide practical guidance as to how consultants can best position themselves to adapt to the changing marketplace and enhance their value to clients.
