Electric Industry Discourse on Climate Change and Weather
The Dartmouth Institute's Julia Chelen presents her recent research on how electric companies actual behavior compares to their legally required disclosures.
What can be learned about electric industry companies' behavior, plans, and positioning from what they say, and how they say it, in legally required public disclosures? Motivations of electric industry companies are assumed, often reasonably, to reflect general corporate attributes, such as profit-driven decisions and use of the considerable information on how weather events affect electric system reliability. In the midst of large-scale weather-related power interruptions, many may question a company's operational planning, as well as its ability to identify risk. Julia Chelen, Research Associate with The Dartmouth Institute at the Geisel School of Medicine, will discuss how behavioral decision research can be used to identify meaningful differences between individual companies and assess how a company may act in the future.
