We’ll also hear from consumer advocates about consumer engagement in an era of rising costs and complexities. \n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bios\n\n\n\nAttendee List\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Presentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoel Jansen\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://midwesterngovernors.org/event/mid-grid-fall-quarterly-meeting/ LOCATION:District of Columbia CATEGORIES:In-Person,MID-GRID ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://midwesterngovernors.org/wp-content/uploads/pexels-zeni3200-19148168-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251209T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251209T120000 DTSTAMP:20260119T051432 CREATED:20251215T221506Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260113T195059Z UID:10233-1765278000-1765281600@midwesterngovernors.org SUMMARY:America's Smartland Series: Siting Nuclear Energy DESCRIPTION:Nuclear energy installations\, whether a large plant or an SMR need to receiving siting from the jurisdiction in which that asset sits. What siting norms are there in the Midwest and what challenges will new technologies bring to siting policy. \n\nConfirmed Speakers: \n\n\n\nStephen Burdick\, Idaho National Laboratory\nChairperson Andrew French\, Kansas Corporation Commission\nAdam Stein\, Ph.D.\, The Breakthrough Institute\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nView Recording URL:https://midwesterngovernors.org/event/siting-nuclear-energy/ LOCATION:District of Columbia CATEGORIES:America's Smartland,Nuclear,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251215T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251215T110000 DTSTAMP:20260119T051432 CREATED:20260112T175235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260113T220620Z UID:10269-1765792800-1765796400@midwesterngovernors.org SUMMARY:MID-GRID Webinar – Benefits of Regional Transmission DESCRIPTION:MGA has been engaging with state government and stakeholders on cross-regional studies. To continue this topic of discussion\, this webinar will connect policymakers to challenges with assessing the benefits of interregional transmission. Johannes P. Pfeifenberger\, Principal at the Brattle Group\, will present ways policy makers can better understand these unique benefits.  \nSome of the topics we will address include: \n\nHow much are we investing in transmission?\nWhat opportunities are created by Order 1920\nWhat are transmission benefits? \nHow to deal with uncertainty and minimize planning regrets?\nWhy interregional transmission and what is holding us back?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSlides URL:https://midwesterngovernors.org/event/mid-grid-webinar-benefits-of-regional-transmission/ LOCATION:District of Columbia CATEGORIES:MID-GRID,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251218T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251218T120000 DTSTAMP:20260119T051432 CREATED:20251215T221715Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260113T222222Z UID:10235-1766055600-1766059200@midwesterngovernors.org SUMMARY:America's Smartland Series: The Role SMRs and New Technology DESCRIPTION: \nWith this webinar\, the audience will learn about the state of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in the Midwest and how this technology and others are advancing nuclear energy in the region. \nSpeaker: Brian M.
