[SPN-Discussion] Register Now: Greentech Investors Forum THIS FRIDAY, Aug. 14: EnerKnol

[Gelvin Stevenson]

U.S. energy regulatory data is fragmented, inaccessible and cumbersome. And
that’s a problem.

For example: Wyoming just passed a new state law affecting transmission
lines that cross the state.  Why should you care, sitting in your office
high above NYC’s bustling streets? There’s a very good reason you should
care. That ruling will jump transmission rates over four states, and you
are developing wind farms in three of those states. If you don’t adjust the
agreements you’re about to sign, your wind farms will start losing money.

 A dilemma indeed. But how can you be expected to keep track of every
energy-related law and regulation and regulatory decision in every locale,
state and energy regulatory office in the nation?

 Previously, that took an army of researchers. But now, EnerKnol will do
all that work for you.



*Date: Friday, August 14, 2015*

*Time: 8:00am – 10:00am*

*Organizer: Gelvin Stevenson, PhD*

*Sponsor and Host: Crowell & Moring. LLP*

*Location: 590 Madison Ave. at 57th Street, southwest corner, 22nd floor*



Energy regulatory information is constantly changing and highly fragmented
across thousands of government offices. Regulations are made—and constantly
re-made—at the federal, state, regional and local levels. Market
participants waste time and resources, miss investment opportunities, and
increase compliance risk by not having efficient access to regulatory
information that impacts energy markets.

 And of course energy projects don’t live in a vacuum. If you’re in the
energy markets, you also need to keep on top of EPA air and water
regulations, Department of the Interior public lands regulations, and
Department of Transportation materials safety and storage regulations. And
what about endangered species? Import and export authorizations? FERC? And
that’s just on the federal level. Remember the regional carbon markets?
State Utility Commissions?

 EnerKnol Data aggregates and tracks, in real-time, the most important
regulatory and legislative filings directly from the most relevant
government agencies and offices in the United States. EnerKnol’s algorithms
zip through hundreds of thousands of government documents, find the
pertinent filings that move markets, and present users with actionable data
to make quick decisions. And it makes this data available to customers in
real-time, on an easy-to-use data cloud platform.

 Beyond just access to this government data, EnerKnol offers users the
capability to customize the type of energy information most relevant for
individual portfolios under saved profile types. It then provides – and
organizes – filings, news, and in-house analysis on emissions markets,
electric power, natural gas, oil and refined products, biofuels, solar,
wind, hydropower, and more –  and incorporates this data into automatic
e-mail alerts, to keep clients informed up-to-the-minute.
