CPES's annual conference focuses on Connecticut's energy future, including resiliency, affordability, innovation, rapid load growth, electrification, evolving technologies, reliability, and energy security. Panel 1, "Load Growth: The Region's New Reality," addresses generation and transmission infrastructure needs and the potential impact of data centers. The moderator is Dan Canavan of Harris Beach Murtha; panelists are Maggie Amore of Enbridge, Bryan Fitzgerald of Verogy, Kevin Hennessy of Mainspring Energy, and Betsy Schaefer of FuelCell Energy. Additional program topics include "Resiliency Redefined: Affordability, Electrification and Security"; "The Business of Communicating Energy in 2026"; and "Innovation at the Meter: AMI, Rate Design and How Data is Shaping the Competitive Market." The program features a keynote by Emma Cimino, Acting Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and a fireside chat on "Politics and Policy" with PURA Vice Chairman David Arconti and key legislators.
