Fernando will present an overview of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. He will highlight its expected impact on reliability of electricity. He will also discuss the impact of the act on the functioning of NERC as we know it, as well as the effect that it may have on markets and market design. In addition, he also plans to share his experiences as a member of the IEEE Energy Policy Committee and to discuss with the audience means by which engineers can best influence energy policy.
