ScottMadden Presents on the Greening of the Power Grid for GenForum Conference

ATLANTA - Dec. 20, 2016 - PRLog -- ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America's leading energy consulting firms, recently presented at the GenForum conference in Orlando, FL. This one-day event, hosted by PennWell Energy Hub Forums, was designed to bring together power generation executives who operate, plan, build, regulate, and invest in power generation systems in North America to gain insight from case studies, regional planning strategies, financing trends, and practical lessons learned from new construction and upgraded power projects occurring in the United States and Canada.

Todd Williams, partner and fossil practice co-leader at ScottMadden, presented on Greening the Grid, a study of the trends and drivers impacting the U.S. electric grid and its movement toward renewable energy. The presentation examined the drivers moving the U.S. electric generation fleet increasingly toward renewables and future considerations to maintain the electric grid.

"We have already started down the path to a greener electric grid. Renewable Portfolio Standards, the economics of building new generation, and customer preference are all key drivers moving the United States toward renewable energy," said Mr. Williams. "It was a privilege to present at this conference. PennWell always puts together excellent conferences for professionals working in electric generation."
