A call for papers on “Utilities of the Future: Implications of a Carbon Constrained World” has been released by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) and the National Council on Electricity Policy (NCEP).

The conference, which will be held on December 2-4, 2009, in Dallas, Texas, will explore how the utility sector will be affected by carbon policies. Subtopics for the conference include climate goals, demographic trends, potential legislation and regulation, options for reducing GHGs, innovation, resource planning, system architecture, and business models. This list is not exhaustive and other subtopics can be suggested. NARUC and NCEP are seeking papers from utilities, consumers, academics, and others interested in the topic.
