Driving Change in the Energy Sector Update!

Hi all!

Today I wanted to increase your awareness of the energy panel within the Business & Society Conference, titled Driving Change in the Energy Sector.

The energy community at Tuck gets bigger and bigger each year, and we are excited to see companies as PG&E, General Electric, Enernoc, Siemens, FirstWind, Eaton, O-Power or SunEdison looking for Tuckies. As a consequence, we wanted to have a panel in the conference that dealt with the latest happenings in the energy world and its perspectives.

We thought that the best way to have a real perspective of these happenings would be to bring together all the players in the industry: equipment manufacturers, investors, utilities and nonprofit. And I have to say that the caliber of the professionals that are going to be present in the conference is astonishing. Seth Dunn, the renewables policy leader at GE Energy, will provide the perspective of one of the biggest manufacturers of wind turbines and solar panels in the world. Daniel Hullah, from RockPort Capital, will provide first hand insights about investing in new technologies. Sienna Rogers, from Pacific Gas & Electricity, will bring to the table what
a large utility thinks about investing in renewables and what are the challenges they face at the time of doing so. Finally, Armond Cohen, from Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit devoted to increase air quality , will moderate the table with the freedom needed to get insightful answers from the panel.

The panel will discuss issues as relevant as the role of distributed generation in the future of renewables, the impact of shale gas on its price competitiveness, its subsidy dependency, the role of China in its development, or what are the next technologies in the R&D pipeline.

I hope to see you all there!
