TRIBAL ENERGY
Structuring, energy resources for
tribal facilities and commercial enterprises
April 22 & 23, 2004
Las Vegas, Nevada
The Westin Casuarina Hotel
| A B O U T T H E C O N F E R E N C E “Indian tribes own millions of acres of land containing large portions of our nation’s untapped energy resources. For 20 years, Indian lands have contributed nearly 11% of the nation’s onshore oil, natural gas and coal production. Given available fossil energy resources and potentially significant renewable energy resources on Indian lands, this level of contribution will likely continue or, more likely, increase. Indian tribes are exploring and evaluating energy resource potential for their own tribal facilities and commercial enterprises as well as developing tribally-based self-sufficient non-grid power generation for the wholesale market. This conference will provide attorneys, program managers and industry representatives with key information on the issues in tribal energy development. It will cover in depth the roles of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Western Area Power Administration, transmission issues, marketing (power, gas and more) in a deregulated environment, environmental development processes, partnership and grant opportunities, as well as current legislative proposals and tools for developing energy on Indian lands.” Program Co-Chairs: Karen J. Atkinson, Esq. of Tribal Strategies, Inc., and Maurice Richard of Marin Power Ventures LLC. Credits: NV CLE Pending; CA 14.0 MCLE; WA 13.5 CLE; Call about others. Who Should Attend? Attorneys, tribal and governmental representatives, decision makers in energy, financial institutions and government |
