Maine’s evolving energy landscape has significant implications for businesses, communities, and economic development across the state. From growing energy demands and infrastructure needs to affordability, reliability, and opportunities for future investment, energy will continue to play an important role in Maine’s ability to compete and grow.
Join MEREDA for a timely discussion bringing together leaders from the utility, business, and energy sectors to explore the challenges and opportunities ahead. Panelists will discuss how Maine’s energy needs are changing, what businesses and communities should be preparing for, and how energy policy and infrastructure can support continued economic development.
The conversation will feature Erica Young of Versant Power and Patrick Woodcock of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, with an additional panelist to be announced. Charlie Summers of the Maine Energy Marketers Association will moderate the discussion.
The program will offer perspectives from across Maine’s energy and business community while providing attendees with a better understanding of the issues shaping investment, development, and growth throughout the state.
