This year IPPNY welcomes Former EPA Administrator, Carol M. Browner. Ms. Browner served longer than any other EPA administrator (1993 to 2001) under President Bill Clinton for both terms. During her time as administrator, a wave of new regulation and programs were created, including the Brownfields Program, the first refinery regulations, lead paint requirements, and new air quality standards. Ms. Browner most recently served as director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2011.
Our fall conference regularly attracts well over 100 energy industry executives, policy makers and members of the financial and legal communities. The conference will feature a political panel discussion, a regulatory roundup from IPPNY's outside council, Sam Laniado of Read & Lanaido, a market updates from NYISO Chair, Michael Bemis and NYISO President & CEO, Steve Whitley, and a special presentation from Executive Director of the Loan Programs Office (LPO) at the U.S. Department of Energy, Peter Davidson.
Agenda is subject to change...
