The opening keynote of DTECH Northeast will see FERC Commissioner Judy W. Chang outline the most critical regulatory and financial issues that are shaping the energy landscape. Commissioner Chang’s expertise in energy economics and policy provides a baseline for her perspective on where the grid is going, but what does it mean for regulators to best support this evolution? Commissioner Chang will share insights on how regulators can best support this transformation, ensuring reasonable rates for customers while fostering industry best practices.

Following her address, a panel of industry experts will fully explore these best practices as they discuss what it means to address challenges of resource adequacy, electrification, grid modernization, and climate resilience—all with a focus on customer affordability. Join us for a discussion on creating a smarter, more sustainable energy future in the Northeast, an evolution that promises to define the entire sector.
