How to Win Acceptance of Dynamic Pricing:
What Every Utility Needs to Know to Succeed
(Live webinar: 3/16/11. Available as multi-media download and CD)

Dynamic pricing may be the biggest potential benefit of the smart grid. Passing through wholesale power prices to the retail level offers opportunities to engage consumers in markets and lower prices. But customers are used to paying a flat rate and not paying much attention to power. Changing that is one of the most difficult challenges facing the retail power industry today. This price-responsive, demand-response model has been called the "killer-app" of the smart grid. But making it available can require navigating a political minefield. Find out how dynamic pricing can help wholesale markets even when residential customer classes are engaged in them. And what your utility can do to get customers used to the notion of variable pricing in power. More information/purchase recording: http://www.restructuringtoday.com/Dynamic-Pricing-Recording.htm

Understanding Rights of First Refusal:
Can They Survive FERC's Actions?
(Live webinar: 11/9/10. Available as multi-media download and CD)

FERC recently eliminated a PJM practice where utilities had the rights of first refusal (ROFR) to build planned transmission lines that went through its territory, even if a third party had already started the line. Utilities have express concern about their loss of rights yet FERC is still thinking about broadening the elimination to all ISO/RTOs. Several Midwest ISO transmission owners have told FERC that they would consider leaving the market if it carried out the policy in their territory. Find out how the elimination of ROFRs could change the future of the transmission business when you purchase the recording of this web conference.
