SUMMARY:NECA: 2026 Power Markets Conference
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:2025 Power Markets Conference
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Thursday\, January 16 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm\nWHERE: Boston University\, Center for Computing & Data Sciences\, 665 Commonwealth Avenue \nA major transformation is underway in our energy system\, driven by state and federal policies seeking to spur renewable development\, electrify the economy\, and slash carbon emissions by mid-century. These policies\, and the rapid changes they have catalyzed\, are putting immense pressure on current power market design. Looking ahead\, can markets be redesigned to achieve reliability and carbon reductions while remaining economical—and what are the tradeoffs and the ways to minimize the impact? Or\, ultimately\, is the impact of this transformation so large that the solution must be something other than market based? Please join us on January 16\, 2025\, for a robust discussion on these questions.

SUMMARY:“Going Big” – Pop Up Webinar on the State of Offshore Wind in New England & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Massachusetts and Rhode Island announced the winners of their joint offshore wind auction on September 6. “We’re going big\,” said Gov. Maura Healey. The three projects selected will be built south of Nantucket and collectively produce up to 2\,878 megawatts of electricity.  The projects are expected to generate billions of dollars in economic activity\, lower electricity costs\, create thousands of union jobs\, and position New England for the future of clean energy.  Join NECA for a pop up discussion with industry experts to understand what this announcement means and what is going on in offshore wind in New England and  beyond.  \nPanel:\nBob Grace\, President\, Sustainable Energy Advantage (Moderator)\nMoira Cyphers\, Director\, Atlantic Offshore & Eastern State Affairs\, American Clean Power\nGarcia Magrach\, VP – OSW Projects\, Avangrid\nBen D’Antonio\, Manager of Transmission Strategy and Economic Analysis\, Eversource Energy \nCost:\nMembers $40 | Non-Members $55 | Government $35 | Young Professionals $35 | Students Free \nREGISTER HERE: https://necanews.org/product/ticket-the-state-of-offshore-wind-in-new-england-beyond-october-1-2024/

SUMMARY:NECA 2022 Fuels Conference
DESCRIPTION:Energy Security\, Price\, and Decarbonization: Is This the Winter of Our Discontent?\nWhen Mark Twain reportedly observed that history does not repeat itself\, but if often rhymes\, he may have been speaking about the state of the fuel supply situation in New England.  Recent events and price shocks have drawn renewed attention to the uncomfortable reality facing the region: it is energy-insecure during extreme weather conditions.  This vulnerability is a feature\, not a bug\, as these challenges have been the subject of numerous stakeholder discussions\, meetings and proposals for over a decade.  Now\, with Winter 2022-2023 only a few months away\, and with several of the region’s states pursuing ambitious decarbonization goals\, curtailments and service interruptions are no longer remote possibilities.  Join NECA on Thursday\, September 29\, 2022\, at the NECA Fuels Conference\, for an informative and engaging discussion with industry experts and representatives for their perspectives on the current situation\, and what it means for the region for both this winter\, as well as for the future.

SUMMARY:NECA's Meet Meredith Angwin
DESCRIPTION:Meet Meredith Angwin\, Author of Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid\nNECA’s Young Professionals Committee invites everyone to a special virtual event featuring Meredith Angwin\, energy analyst and author of Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid. You don’t have to read the book to benefit from a discussion with this dynamic author\, but it can be easily purchased on the usual book purchasing sites or directly through Meredith. And a few of her books will be raffled off during the program! \nAs a working chemist\, Meredith headed projects that lowered pollution and increased reliability on the electric grid. Her work included pollution control for nitrogen oxides in gas-fired combustion turbines\, and corrosion control in geothermal and nuclear systems. She was one of the first women to be a project manager at the Electric Power Research Institute. She led projects in renewable and nuclear energy. In the past ten years\, she began to study and take part in grid oversight and governance. For four years\, she served on the Coordinating Committee for the Consumer Liaison Group associated with ISO-NE\, her local grid operator. \nModerators:\nJohn Malloy III\, Manager\, StoneTurn\nMike Vittiglio\, Project Manager\, Navisun LLC\n(Young Professionals Committee Co-Chairs)

SUMMARY:NECA's The Challenges to Achieving Climate Change and Energy Infrastructure Goals in New England:  Different Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Climate legislation codifying greenhouse gas reduction goals were passed at the federal\, state and local levels in 2021. In order to meet these ambitious goals\, new renewable energy sources and new energy infrastructure connecting renewable energy resources to the grid or supporting transitional electric generation are needed\, yet these infrastructure projects are meeting opposition. Natural gas pipelines also play a role in achieving a transition to a greater clean energy society. Recently\, the construction of the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) transmission line was halted after Maine voted against the corridor project in a referendum. Northern Pass\, another transmission project to tie clean energy from Canada to southern New England\, was similarly halted. The slow advancement of offshore wind and certain resistance to solar projects are further complicating our ability to meet the energy goals that have been set for the period between 2030 and 2050. \nCome hear experts discuss their experiences and perspectives on siting new renewable and electric transmission facilities necessary to meet Climate Change goals. \nWednesday\, June 22\, 9-11 am\nModerator: Tracy Adamski\, Vice President\, Tighe & Bond\nPanel: Stakeholder Perspective\nCaitlin Peale Sloan\, Vice President for Massachusetts\, Conservation Law Foundation\nMegan Aconfora\, Public Involvement Specialist\, Burns & McDonnell\nJennie Chen\, Senior Manager\, Clean Energy\, World Resources Institute\nJanet Gail Besser\, Vice President\, Regulatory and Business Innovation\, Smart Electric Power Alliance \nThursday\, June 23\, 1-3 pm\nModerator: Will Dodge\, Partner & Practice Group Chair\, Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC\nPanel: Developer Perspective\nTJ Roskelley\, Partner\, Anderson & Kreiger LLP\nJoe Rossignoli\, Consultant\, Ross Emergent LLC\nRob Jackson\, Director – Solar/Storage Project Development\, Ameresco\nSteve Elliott\, Director – Business Development & Marketing\, Enbridge
