1st Annual Energy Policy Institute Summit

The 1st Annual Energy Policy Institute Summit was successfully held March 12th - 13th, 2009 at Boise State University, in the Stueckle Sky Center. The overall purpose of the Summit was to identify a number of research projects to help policy makers and energy leaders formulate and decide on effective energy policy needed by the state and region. The agenda was divided into two days. On day one, we welcomed a group of highly knowledgeable and qualified speakers to address Idaho's energy issues from different perspectives based on their respective fields of expertise. Speakers ranged from legislators, to lawyers, to utility experts. The first day of the Summit was open to anyone with an interest in energy issues including students and the general public. Day two was reserved for faculty of CAES institutions and other specially invited guests to develop project teams and research ideas that could be beneficial in the development of energy policy. Researchers wishing to participate on a project team attended both days of the summit.
