The first of many 1996 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting keynote events was the Plenary Session on Environmental Policies: Impact on Utility Operations, which was held on January 22, 1996, in Baltimore, Maryland. Environmental policies have wide-ranging effects on the electric power industry and on the electrical engineering profession. Following an overview of world-wide environmental policies and their impact on the industry by Hans Puettgen, PES Public Affairs chair and session moderator, the guest speakers presented perspectives of the US Department of Energy (DOE), electric power utilities, and one particular utility, respectively: Janet Anderson, special assistant to the US Secretary of Energy for environmental policy; Robert Beck, vice president for environmental affairs at the Edison Electric Institute (EEI); and Edward M. Davis, supervisor of the BGE Environmental Performance Assessments Unit. The audience was encouraged to participate in the Plenary Session by submitting questions, which sparked some open panel discussions following the presentations. This article summarizes the presentations, identifies the topics of discussion during the question and answer (Q and A) session, and provides information on how to obtain a copy of the videotape recording of the Plenary Session for use in PES Chapter activities.
