examinations. Successful operators will be provided with a certificate
and a wallet card. Please see the brochure for class requirements, dates

Wednesday, June 21st at NoonThe
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has the potential to be a game-changer
for the energy industry and for consumers across the country, but only
if electric utilities respond to the rapidly changing market conditions.
The IRA’s potential is being put to the test in real-time across the
country as power providers continue proposing to build new generation. Join
Advanced Energy United as we discuss the results of four case studies
comparing the costs of new gas versus solar, wind and storage designed
to provide equivalent energy and reliability, and what the results mean
for resource planning and ratepayers everywhere. Click here to register for this webinar. Panelists
include Maria Roumpani, Strategen Consulting Group, Tremaine Phillips,
Michigan Public Service Commission, and Sarah Webster, Pattern Energy. Topics will include: - An
overview of Strategen Consulting Group’s assessment of four proposed
gas plants in light of the IRA (View the recently released reports
available here and here);
- Industry perspectives on these changing market dynamics; and
- Implications for utilities, regulators, and stakeholders who engage in resource planning.

The
Iowa Department of Revenue is reminding owners of non-residential
electric vehicle chargers that new tax changes take effect July 1, 2023. Owners
of non-residential electric vehicle charging stations will be
responsible for reporting and paying to the Iowa Department of Revenue
two and six-tenths cents for each kilowatt hour ($0.026 per kWh) of
electric fuel dispensed into an electric vehicle battery or energy
storage device. Any business or organization, including local
governments and nonprofits, that has a charging station for its
employees or customers will need a license. Licensing and taxation does
not apply to electric fuel dispensed at residences. Visit the Department’s Electric Fuel Excise Tax guidance for more information about how to obtain a license and file and pay the tax. To receive notifications of resources and guidance issued by the Department, subscribe to updates by selecting the tax topics of interest.

The Iowa Secondary Energy Curriculum Project
(ISEC) at the University of Northern Iowa is pleased to announce the
launch of their website, where
middle school and high school teachers can access ten new units to use
in their classrooms. Each learning unit also discusses and outlines
careers available in Iowa related to the lesson. You’re welcome to share
this information with schools in your service territory. Each unit is free to use and… - Meets at least one of the Iowa Earth Science content standards plus an Engineering standard
- Emphasizes issues related to generating electricity on the local and state level
- Explores careers associated with the electrical industry
- Can be copied and modified to fit the needs of any class
- Developed by Iowa teachers for Iowa teachers
- Available at https://isec.uni.edu/
- Click the file link at the bottom to view an informational flyer on the program
Anticipating
that a large portion of Iowa’s energy workforce will retire in the
coming years, it is imperative that students are introduced to the
varied career paths available to them. Each unit provides time for
students to explore multiple career options across different education
requirements. For more information, contact the ISEC Project team at isec@uni.edu
