Energy efficiency and the utilities: new directions. [Symposium proceedings]
- ed.
The central inquiry of this symposium was what role the nation's utilities should play to encourage, and provide incentives for, energy conservation and efficiency. Five specific areas were selected as discussion topics: 1) the Utility Role in Solar; 2) the Utility Role in Conservation; 3) Load Management and Conservation Rate Design; 4) Cogeneration and Small Power Production; and, 5) New Directions for Utility Resource and Financial Planning. There was a panel (with moderator) of 3 to 5 members for each area, with a speaker introducing each session and a panel discussion following; also, there was a luncheon speaker each day: Dr. Daniel Yergin, co-editor of the Harvard Energy Study, Energy Future, on April 18; and Mr. Amory Lovins, British Representative, Friends of the Earth, on April 12. The purpose of the symposium was to provide a forum for knowledgeable and influential people from a variety of backgrounds bearing on national energy policy to exchange ideas. To this end, the CPUC invited leaders from the financial community, the utility industry, state regulatory commissions, other federal state, and local governmental bodies, the academic and research communities, public interest groups, and the media. A thoughtful and provocative dialogue resulted thus this edited publication of the proceedings was arranged to reach a wider audience.
