This utility-only roundtable is a closed-door, high-level networking event that has been designed to foster collaboration between VPs and Directors to better enable regional collaboration, build strategic consensus, and address systemic energy challenges in a candid, strictly confidential setting. The discussion will center on the dual challenge of grid reliability and energy affordability, reframing these not just as operational metrics, but as core drivers of corporate messaging and reputation strategy. Attendees will discuss and explore what it means to:

  • Align Strategy with Public Trust: Align your organization's operational reality with public messaging, translating complex grid investments into compelling, high-trust communication that resonates with ratepayers facing rising bills.
  • Govern Transition Pacing: Scale renewable integration and electrification strategies effectively, safeguarding system stability while avoiding artificial inflation of the rate base.
  • Balance Competing Timelines: Mitigate the friction between immediate regulatory and financial pressures and long-term asset resilience goals.

 

To protect the integrity of the dialogue, this session is exclusively for utility leaders. Non-utility participation is strictly prohibited.
