ENV-VISIONEnvironmental Vision – An International Electricity Sector Conference

May 10–11, 2016 The Watergate Hotel, Washington, D.C.

2 ENV-VISION: Environmental Vision – An International Electricity Sector Conference

About the ConferencePurpose: A premier conference to exchange research results on current and emerging issues in the electricity sector, and to develop a shared vision to address the most critical environmental and sustainability challenges through engagement of electric industry leaders, regulators, NGOs, academics, and other stakeholders.Background: Environmental issues facing the electricity sector are changing as rapidly as the dynamic global economy and evolving regulatory policy. There is an urgent need to anticipate future environmental challenges, identify major science and technology gaps, and design a research approach to enable sustainable and cost-effective solutions to those challenges. The first ENV-Vision Conference was held in 2015 to comprehensively focus on existing and emerging environmental challenges in the electricity sector. There were about 240 attendees. The meeting brought together leaders, managers, and researchers from a broad spectrum of stakeholder groups to promote discussions on electricity sector environmental research and information needs. This second edition of the confer-ence will build upon the success of the first edition and continue to enable high level discussion on current and future environmental challenges facing the electricity sector, identify knowledge gaps and to define research needed to solve those challenges.
