Subject: Register now -- New PURPA 111(d) Standards in the 2021 Infrastructure Law: What Co-ops Need to Know

Hello all:
I mentioned this during the meeting on March 29, but want to be sure to circulate the registration link for this upcoming webinar on May 12 from 2-3pm ET. Mary Ann Ralls and I are going to be presenting on the new PURPA 111(d) standards included in the bipartisan infrastructure law passed last year and what coops need to know about them. Please consider joining us on May 12 and/or circulating to your members for their awareness – particularly those coops that may have more than 500 million kWh in annual retail sales.

Overview
​The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021 included amendments to Title I of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA). These provisions adopt new federal standards (regarding electric vehicles and demand response) that must be considered by state regulatory authorities and large nonregulated electric utilities, including many cooperatives. Title I of PURPA and the obligation to consider the new federal standards apply to electric utilities with retail sales greater than 500 million kWh. The purpose of this webinar is to help you navigate what these new standards could mean for your co-op and answer the following questions:​​​

  *   ​Do these provisions in Title I of PURPA apply to my coop?
  *   For those coops where these provisions apply – what does my coop need to do to comply and within what timeframe?
  *   What if my coop has already implemented programs in these areas (EVs or demand response)?
  *   What are some of the things my coop should look at when considering whether to adopt these standards (EVs or demand response)?​​​​

Many thanks,
Stephanie
