The Annual Conference on Utility Scale Renewables Integration will take place on September 27-28, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. The conference will address overcoming challenges related to increasing renewable energy penetration on the electric grid. Speakers will discuss options for flexibly integrating renewable energy, including representatives from utilities, grid operators, permitting bodies, and financiers. Key topics will include policy developments, project development, maximizing flexibility of gas-fired generation, ancillary service market development, demand response techniques, and energy storage. The conference aims to explore issues limiting optimal renewable integration and generation/transmission flexibility, as well as financing options. It will provide a forum for stakeholders to network and discuss flexible power management solutions.
