NECA: 2026 Power Markets Conference
Wholesale power markets are at a crossroads. Climate goals are accelerating, data centers are fueling unprecedented demand growth, federal energy policy is shifting, and rising costs are straining household budgets and business bottom lines alike. The fundamental question facing New England—and regions across the country—is how competitive markets can continue to deliver reliable, affordable electricity amid these converging pressures.
The 2026 NECA Power Markets Conference brings together regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders for candid discussions about how markets and policy choices are shaping the balance between affordability, reliability, and decarbonization. Through three interconnected panels, the conference will explore what’s driving electricity costs, how market structures are adapting to resource adequacy challenges and surging demand, and what it takes to attract investment for tomorrow’s grid. Join us for a day of forward-looking dialogue on how power markets can uphold their core strengths in a rapidly transforming energy landscape.
