The PIs will partner with the U.S. Department of Energy to hold two workshops focused on illuminating gaps and opportunities for regulatory and planning harmonization across North America. The initial focus will be on how harmonize regulations and planning for electricity production and transmission across the US borders with Mexico and Canada. One workshop will focus on US - Canadian issues, and will be held in Boise, Idaho on the campus of Boise State University. The second workshop will consider US - Mexico issues, and will be held at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. The PIs will also prepare background materials to summarize the current state of regulation and planning in Canada, Mexico, and the US in electricity production and transmission. The workshops will provide a forum for developing the broader impacts for policy of economics and environmental science. The overall goal is to reduce cost, environmental damage, and risks to electric reliability.The background papers will cover three to five specific areas where the US may consider harmonizing regulation and planning across borders. This includes three specific chosen topics: (a) the effects of air pollution and carbon dioxide regulations; (b) technical regulations and planning processes; (c) whether and how data sharing across borders will improve modeling and planning.

PI将与美国能源部合作举办两个研讨会，重点是阐明北美监管和规划协调的差距和机会。 最初的重点将是如何协调美国与墨西哥和加拿大边境的电力生产和传输的法规和规划。 其中一个讲习班将重点讨论美加问题，并将在爱达荷州的博伊西博伊西州立大学校园内举行。 第二次讲习班将审议美墨问题，并将在阿尔伯克基的新墨西哥州大学举行。 PI还将准备背景材料，以总结加拿大，墨西哥和美国在电力生产和传输方面的监管和规划现状。 这些讲习班将提供一个论坛，以发展经济学和环境科学政策的更广泛影响。总体目标是降低成本、环境破坏和电力可靠性风险。背景文件将涵盖美国可能考虑协调跨境监管和规划的三到五个具体领域。 这包括三个具体选定的主题：（a）空气污染和二氧化碳法规的影响;（B）技术法规和规划过程;（c）跨界数据共享是否以及如何改进建模和规划。
