Conference speakers will discuss:
- Locational Installed Capacity (LICAP) - Current status and potential
alternatives
- Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI ) - Identify risks entailed if
RGGI is passed, and effects on reliability and costs
- Transmission Expansion - How will it be built and who pays for it?
- Alternative Energy Sources - Moving away from gas

The event will be valuable both for utility executives and policy makers,
and those who are new to the industry and exploring financing options. Power and Associates . NIF is the
