Resource Planning Under Uncertainty

September 15–16, 2011
Atlanta, GA

Each year, energy commissioners, experts, practitioners and environmentalists come together from across the US to attend the annual Bonbright Electric and Natural Gas Conference. At this year’s event, attendees will discuss federal energy legislation, changes to regulatory policy, and the potential for marketable renewable energies such as wind, solar, biomass and geothermal. Participants will also examine technological advances with the potential to drive natural gas to become a cleaner, more competitive energy alternative, and review the current state of nuclear power development and federal climate change legislation.

Bonbright Fellowship Program

The Fellowship Program is designed to introduce young professionals to the work of its namesake and encourage them to participate in The Bonbright Center activities. The Bonbright Center is dedicated to extending and teaching the regulatory principles specified by Professor James C. Bonbright whose work has influenced regulatory agencies in the United States for more than half a century. When countries in Eastern Europe were privatizing and restructuring their electric and gas industries during the 1990s some referred to his classic Principles of Public Utility Rates as a “Bible of Regulation.”

Full Fellowships provide free registration to the 2011 Electric and Natural Gas Conference and to special events sponsored by the Center. Partial Fellowships provide for reduced registration fees designed to cover marginal costs. Participants may receive continuing education credit through The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education and continuing legal education credit through the State Bar of Georgia. Full Fellowship recipients will be recognized at the 2011 Bonbright conference.
