About The Program:

2020 was a big year for Public Utility and Energy law and the momentum is sure to continue throughout 2021. There’s a new Energy Master Plan and Wind Energy is on the forefront. 2021’s Public Utility Conference covers everything you need to know about these issues and more. This is the premier full day CLE and networking event of the year for New Jersey’s Public Utility Law practitioners and a can’t miss event!

This year’s Agenda:
9:00	Welcome from the Section Chair - Philip J. Passanante, Esq.
9:05	Welcome from BPU President Joseph L. Fiordaliso
9:15	Cybersecurity Issues in the Energy & Utility Industry Cybersecurity has been an evolving issue in all industries due to the exponential expansion of digital systems for data management as well as operations. Reliance on internet connected systems, convergence of information systems with operational systems, integration of digitized equipment in every location, from the physical plant to distributed utility systems and particularly to industrial control systems, raises dramatic concerns about the security of our electric, gas, distributed energy, water and wastewater infrastructure. The threat is particularly of concern around the utility sectors due to the need to maintain continuity of these vital services. This panel will explore vulnerabilities and cybersecurity threats to energy and utility systems, including the bulk electric system and the status of efforts to address them, both nationally and here in New Jersey. The panel will also look at regulatory issues regarding the funding and maintaining confidential information - Hon. Richard S. Mroz, (Moderator); Hon. Gladys Dutrieuille; Lynn Costantini; Professor Mark James
10:45	Break
11:00	Changes in Clean Energy Federal Policy: The first 100 (almost) days of the Biden Administration In the first three months since President Biden took office, the federal policy towards solar, wind and other renewable energy sources has drastically changed. Executive Orders, new legislation, and policy statements have launched the expansion of renewable resources on the federal level. With the flurry of activity in the past ninety days, it’s easy to get blown away. This panel will shine some sunlight on the most important developments in federal renewable energy policy - Jeanne Fox, Esq. (Moderator); Lisa Garcia, Esq.; Hon. Frank J. Pallone, Jr., Esq.; Eric Schaaf, Esq.; Jon Wellinghoff Esq.
12:30	Luncheon
1:00	Diversity Panel - Upendra J. Chivukula; Debbie Albrecht; Lisa Jerome; Shawn Abner-Purnell; Dina L. Vespia, Esq.
3:00	Adjourn
