SUMMARY:Assessing Energy Affordability Impacts and Other Key Metrics (Alongside Benefit-Cost Analyses) to Inform DER Investment Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Many states and utilities are looking for ways to address energy affordability when deciding whether and how utilities should invest in or support distributed energy resources (DERs). This multi-day course will describe how conducting a distributional equity analysis (DEA) can be used in conjunction with benefit-cost analyses (BCA) of DERs to provide a broader decision framework that considers key metrics – such as rate and bill impacts\, participation\, health and safety – and their impacts on underserved (e.g.\, low income) customers relative to all other customers. This training is geared towards evaluation practitioners\, utilities\, and stakeholders. \nThe course will rely largely on the US DOE guidance titled: Distributional Equity Analysis for Energy Efficiency and Other Distributed Energy Resources: A Practical Guide (May 2024). \nThe training will describe the difference between DEA and BCA\, where BCA looks at whether a proposed investment will provide net benefits for all customers on average\, while a DEA considers the distribution of costs and benefits for customers with different characteristics\, such as low income populations\, relative to other customers. Instructors will walk through the seven stages of conducting a DEA\, share definitions of priority populations from across the country; describe examples of distributional equity metrics; provide an overview of geospatial tools that can be used to support DEAs; and provide data sources and opportunities to streamline the analysis. The course will also cover example applications of DER to two states\, Washington and Illinois\, and will illustrate how to combine DEA results with BCA results to inform decision-making. \nAfter this course\, students will be able to \n\nDefine what equity means to themselves and their organizations.\nCompare and contrast the differences between DEA and BCA.\nDescribe examples of distributional equity metrics.\nExplain how DEAs can be used to inform a variety of decisions to advance energy equity goals.

SUMMARY:Energy Efficiency Policy Forum
DESCRIPTION:As we approach a pivotal moment for energy policy\, the 2024 election will determine whether the next administration and the 119th Congress will continue to advance energy efficiency or reverse some of the substantial progress made in recent years. Historic investments through the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have set the stage for significant improvements in clean transportation\, affordable housing\, and industrial innovation. However\, with a new administration and Congress on the horizon\, the future of these policies hangs in the balance. \nThe 2024 Energy Efficiency Policy Forum will convene experts and leaders from across government\, industry\, and advocacy to assess the current landscape of federal energy efficiency policies\, explore ways to strengthen and expand these efforts\, and discuss how to address potential challenges ahead. In the face of uncertainty\, we will chart a path forward—whether that means building on existing achievements\, defending against policy rollbacks\, or seizing new opportunities to lower consumer energy costs\, boost U.S. competitiveness\, and combat the climate crisis. \nThe forum will feature keynote addresses by government leaders as well as sessions focusing on: \n\nEquitable and Efficient Housing. Panelists will discuss their successes and challenges in implementing new building efficiency programs\, how programs can be improved\, and energy efficiency’s role in alleviating rising household costs.\nIndustrial Competitiveness and Adequate Power. Panelists will examine the needs of industrial firms as they seek to transform their operations to reduce energy costs and decrease their reliance on fossil fuels and carbon-intensive processes. We will examine how the federal government can facilitate or hinder this transition.\nTransportation Reauthorization. Every five years\, Congress must reauthorize hundreds of billions of dollars in federal surface transportation programs for highways\, intercity rail\, and public transit. We will explore opportunities to improve the efficiency of electric vehicles and our nation’s critical freight systems\, including a state perspective.

SUMMARY:"Net Zero” for Local Governments: Braiding Technologies to Deliver Efficient\, Renewable Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Many are familiar with the concept of braiding complementary funding sources to achieve local clean energy projects. This webinar will extend the metaphor to the physical realm: That is\, braiding various “net zero” building technologies—envelope upgrades\, heat pumps\, on-site renewable electricity and storage\, and EV charging—to achieve integrated\, high-performance buildings. Learn about strategies to holistically improve the energy efficiency of local government buildings to reduce carbon\, improve the health and safety of occupants\, AND save your community money by significantly reducing monthly utility bills. \nExperts from skilled trade associations will explain how the integrated “net zero” approach to renovations and new construction projects can work for local governments\, offering advice on getting started and engaging with relevant skilled trades professionals in your region. They will also share how you can turn this approach into persuasive funding proposals that will make these projects even bigger financial winners for your community.

SUMMARY:Breaking Down Siloes to Plan and Finance Infrastructure for the Future
DESCRIPTION:A virtual event as part of New York Climate Week 2024. \nThere are many tools and case studies on how to support good governance in infrastructure planning\, particularly when it comes to financing and delivering sustainable and resilient infrastructure projects. That said\, changing how infrastructure is governed in practice is not always straightforward. This is due to country-level differences (such as governance systems\, politics\, and geography)\, ways of working\, and a disconnect in how infrastructure is planned\, financed\, and delivered. \nAt this event\, co-organised by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the ICE-led Enabling Better Infrastructure (EBI) Programme\, attendees will hear from senior government officials from around the world who have been able to shift how they governed more sustainable infrastructure. \nSpeakers will outline how countries have encouraged cooperation in infrastructure planning by breaking down silos and bringing in a wide range of stakeholders — such as ministries of finance and sectoral line ministries—to promote the setting up of bankable infrastructure projects. \nDuring the event\, speakers will reflect on the following key questions: \n\nHow were siloes broken down across the infrastructure system\, and what were the direct and indirect benefits for delivering on infrastructure needs?\nHow are the realities of financing and investing in sustainable infrastructure incorporated into the planning process?\nHow easy was it to identify which changes needed to be made across multiple government departments and other influential stakeholders\, and how did you overcome any challenges?\nWhich lessons can share with other countries wanting to break down siloes in how infrastructure is planned and delivered?\n\nInternational guidance\, such as UNEP’s International Good Practice Principles for Sustainable Infrastructure and ICE’s EBI principles\, will be used to explore how tools shape infrastructure governance in different parts of the world.
