Take notice that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) staff, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), will convene, in the above-referenced proceeding, a virtual workshop on September 16, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time, to discuss technical assistance in electric proceedings, solicit public input on their technical assistance needs, and explore ways the Office of Public Participation (OPP) could work with external entities to facilitate technical assistance to interested parties. The workshop will be held remotely.
The workshop will include a panelist discussion on technical assistance followed by facilitated break-out sessions for attendees to discuss their technical assistance needs. The workshop will explore barriers preventing the public, including consumers and consumer advocates, from fully participating in Commission proceedings and explore how OPP can facilitate technical assistance.
The workshop will be open for the public to attend, and there is no fee for attendance. Further details on the agenda, including registration information, can be found on the PNNL website. Information on this technical workshop will also be posted on the Calendar of Events on the Commission's website, www.ferc.gov,, prior to the event.
