NECA: 2025 Fuels Conference
Energy market priorities are often framed as reliable, affordable, and clean. While affordability has been front of mind for gas customers, legislators, and regulators after last winter, this is dependent on the reliability and safety of regional gas infrastructure. Join us to hear from industry leaders about how reliability and safety continue to be prioritized within the framework of ensuring affordability for gas customers. We will explore how consumers are making decisions around fuel choices and gas supply sources as we continue to move toward a cleaner energy future.
