You Got a Problem with That?<\/strong><br \/>\n\tShould we worry about the unintended consequences of the rise of gas?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt&rsquo;s clear that the abundance of natural gas due to hydraulic fracturing has resulted in abundant supplies and low prices. The fuel is less carbon intense than other fossil fuels, and generating technology meets many market demands for flexible power that can handle intermittent renewable resources. But other forms of baseload generation are feeling the pinch with zero-emission nuclear power plants at risk of closure along with coal plants. As a result, every part of the power generation value chain and fuel type&mdash;coal, nuclear and even renewables&mdash;are impacted: from O&amp;M to plant upgrades, environmental compliance strategies to efficiency improvements, workforce development and new talent deployment. As the power generation sector&rsquo;s gathering place for 20 years, ELECTRIC POWER is developing a program that considers natural gas from all sides and also shines a light on the unintended consequences of a more gas-focused grid for other forms of power.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n\t&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-312\" src=\"https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-389-300x200.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px;height: 133px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-389-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-389-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-389-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-389.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-318\" src=\"https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-256-300x200.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px;height: 133px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-256-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-256-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-256-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-256.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-311\" src=\"https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-282-300x200.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px;height: 133px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-282-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-282-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-282-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-282.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-313\" src=\"https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-407-300x200.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px;height: 133px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-407-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-407-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-407-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tfgevents.accessintel.com\/electricpowerexpo2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/170410-EP-17-mark-campbell-photography-407.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For two decades, ELECTRIC POWER has been the gathering place for power generators to get up-to-date training, further their education and gain understanding of regulatory and policy changes which continually impact the production and deployment of power in an ever-changing industry.
