Overview
Wood Mackenzie Focus is a free-to-attend 90-minute virtual series with exclusive content on the most pressing challenges and opportunities in clean energy.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) concerns have become a crucial factor in capital and resource planning decision making for power generation projects. The ESG impacts of these decisions are driving US utilities to go beyond the mandate to retire coal generation and push towards net-zero for new power generation.
ESG also affects every facet of day-to-day utility operations: from energy efficiency strategies for office operations to transitioning gas-powered maintenance fleets to renewable-powered fleets. Considerations should also be analyzed when looking at utility procurements, where it is essential to understand the environmental footprint of first tier suppliers and their sub-suppliers to gauge the ESG impact of everything that the utility is buying and consuming in their operations.
PowerAdvocate will leverage its expertise in ESG performance and experience working with some of the leading generation utilities in the US to drive an exclusive conversation on how utilities are factoring ESG risks and objectives into their capital plans.
