Reports about exciting highlights from the event <a href=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/news.aspx?id=193059\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The first annual <a href=\"http:\/\/greatlakessymposium.com\/\">Great Lakes Symposium for Smart Grid and the New Energy Economy<\/a> kicked off last Tuesday, as leaders gathered from across the Midwest and the country to share information on what benefits and challenges a smart grid can deliver to the region.\u00a0 The event was kicked off by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, promoting energy conservation as the \u201cfifth fuel\u201d (I\u2019d put it first myself).\u00a0 The opening included a moving tribute to Bob Galvin, the pioneer and innovator who created the Galvin Electricity Initiative, one of EDF\u2019s symposium partners.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the weather didn\u2019t cooperate \u2013 it was cold, rainy and, true to Chicago\u2019s nickname, very windy \u2013 the panels and events were excellent and informative.\u00a0 The opening keynote, moderated by Joyce Foundation president Ellen Alberding, included representatives from GE and Silver Springs Network discussing how to place the Midwest in a leadership position in the new energy economy.\u00a0 This question is fundamental to why EDF and our partners chose the Midwest for this conference: the region has just the right mix of manufacturing and high tech industries and a strong agricultural base.\u00a0 Perhaps even more importantly, the Midwest needs a smarter, greener grid to transition from its heavy reliance on coal for electricity, to cleaner resources, such as energy efficiency and renewables \u2013 and to accommodate the emerging electric vehicle market.\u00a0 And while electricity prices are relatively cheap in this part of the country, they are steadily rising.\u00a0 In his answer to the question, GE\u2019s Luke Clemente noted that a smart grid will enable more renewable energy to be generated in the Midwest, keeping more money in the communities in which the power is generated and contributing to their economic development.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the keynote, the symposium split into three separate tracks: a Midwest Policy Summit, a Consumer track and an Innovation and Economic Opportunity track.\u00a0 While this allowed attendees to choose the panels that best addressed their particulars interests, it created a bit of a Sophie\u2019s Choice for me, having to decide which panels to attend and which I would have to miss.\u00a0 Fortunately, four of my EDF colleagues were also in attendance, so we were able to cover all the bases.\u00a0 In fact, three of my colleagues, Miriam Horn, Mark Brownstein and Lauren Navarro, each participated on panels, making it clear that EDF is the leading environmental organization working on these important issues to ensure that the smart grid\u2019s promised environmental benefits are in fact delivered.<\/p>\n<p>I opted for a panel on \u201cLeading Practices for Ensuring Consumer Empowerment,\u201d moderated by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pecanstreet.org\/\">Pecan Street\u2019s<\/a> executive director Brewster McCracken.\u00a0 Pecan treet is an innovative smart grid test bed in Austin, Texas, and there\u2019s a lot to be learned from what they\u2019ve done and continue to do there.\u00a0 Brewster shared some fascinating information on \u201cdisruptive innovation\u201d as the necessary catalyst for advancing technology.\u00a0 Silver Springs Networks\u2019 Eric Dresselhuys built on this theory by discussing the smart grid movement as one born from disruptive forces and opportunities: first out of the need for reliability, more recently as a reaction to environmental policies and consumer interest and finally to enable emerging resources, such as distributed renewable energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I won\u2019t detail every panel I attended, but I\u2019m grateful that staff at the Illinois Institute of Technology were on hand to video all of the events for future reference, which will be housed on the Symposium\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/greatlakessymposium.com\/\">website<\/a>.\u00a0 Immediately after the symposium, I attended the first ever Perfect Power Seal of Approval<sup>TM<\/sup> Academy, a program created by the Galvin Electric Initiative to evaluate power system performance.\u00a0 The program is based on a series of well-defined metrics, including reliability, cost, consumer empowerment and efficiency and environmental performance.\u00a0 EDF helped develop the environmental metrics, which assess a broad range of issues, from emissions to land impacts to waste.\u00a0 Roughly thirty grid operators attended the academy, and will receive a certificate for their participation.\u00a0 The Seal of Approval is based on similar principles of perfection as the Six Sigma certification, which was developed by Bob Galvin.\u00a0 It\u2019s a tool that will no doubt prove invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>As a native North Carolinian, I\u2019ve been thrilled to spend some time in Chicago and the Midwest over the past year, working with great partners to bring a smarter, greener grid to the region.\u00a0 The Great Lakes Symposium was an excellent coming out party for EDF, and is only the start of bigger things to come.\u00a0 My heartfelt gratitude goes out to our partners at the Joyce Foundation, the Illinois Institute of Technology, the Citizens Utility Board, the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition, and everyone else who made this event a great success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View Miriam Horn,
