After the Energy Bill:
What Needs to Be Done for Distributed Energy and Why?

Monday, October 3, 2005
1:30 – 2:30 p.m. , 406 Dirksen Senate Office Building

The Northeast-Midwest Senate Coalition, Northeast-Midwest Institute and Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invite you to a briefing on the status of distributed energy after the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.  While Congress addressed some of the barriers preventing the economic adoption of distributed energy technologies in the recent energy bill, many barriers remain.  As recent events demonstrate, energy markets remain tight, prices spiral ever higher, and the grid’s vulnerability to disruption demands solutions.  Come and hear experts discuss the opportunities, the solutions, and the compelling reasons for action.
