The Connecticut Power and Energy Society is hosting the second annual The Future of Energy: What’s the Deal? Conference and Exhibit on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 from 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, Connecticut.
This one-day conference will feature senior executive perspectives on the ‘Future of Energy’ in three areas of focus: Utility Executive Views, End Users, and the Supply Outlook for Connecticut and the broader energy marketplace. The target speakers for this event are executives at major energy companies and large energy consumers who are industry thought leaders in the field of energy.
“Grid modernization is how we get to The Future of Energy – I am thrilled to discuss this exciting topic with the Connecticut Power and Energy Society on October 24th.” – Katie Scharf Dykes
Utility Executive Views will bring together senior leadership from state and regional electric utilities to discuss the utility of the future and the energy resources and the workforce that will be needed to achieve a modern and resilient energy system. This executive panel will discuss the changing role of utilities in an energy marketplace where consumers have increasing opportunities to control their energy consumption through grid-connected technologies and distributed energy resources.
“I’m excited to moderate a great lineup of end users and hear their stories! This year highlights a fuel cell-powered high speed data center, wire infrastructure for sustainable buildings, and leveraging Connecticut energy programs in our public school systems.” – Gregg Therrien
The End User Panel will focus on large and mid-sized energy customers in the hospitality and entertainment industries, operators of health centers, and large warehouse and distribution facilities and the innovations they are pursuing to take control of their energy future.
“Our region’s Power Supply is constantly changing. There are increasing amounts of intermittent resources, including major off-shore wind, on the horizon. Peak load profiles are changing due to the proliferation of energy efficiency and solar resources. And the future of nuclear and fossil fuel as generating resources are being debated. Our panel of distinguished experts will discuss how these and other factors are affecting New England’s Power Supply Outlook.” – Fred Klein
The Supply Outlook will explore how existing and emerging energy resources can meet Connecticut and New England’s demand for a reliable supply of electricity and achieve the goals of state policymakers to reduce carbon emissions and expand access to renewable and clean energy supplies. The panel will discuss the role of traditional generating resources, opportunities for developing offshore and onshore wind power within New England, and opportunities for expanding the supply of clean energy into the region from neighboring power systems.
Keynotes: Economic Outlook for Connecticut and New England by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Director, Senior Economist and Policy Advisor, New England Public Policy Center, Research Department, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and Alissa DeJonge, Vice President of Research, Connecticut Economic Resource Center, Inc.
