Description
Energy & Telecommunications Industry Leaders Forum
Sustainable Tech: The future of service reliability in energy and telecommunications
How will emerging technologies impact service delivery in the energy and telecommunication sectors?
How will your sectors balance reliability with changing government policies?
On April 11th, BNP’s Energy & Telecommunications Industry Leaders Forum (ILF) convenes business leaders to discuss how your sectors can use new technologies to support system reliability and overall competitiveness in changing markets. We will be joined by Kevin Lanahan, VP of External Affairs and Corporate Communications at New York Independent System Operator, for a discussion on how to best plan for the power grid of the future.
The group will then have a conversation on energy affordability and reliability post New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protect Act (CLCPA) as well as the future of energy and telecommunications regulations.
The BNP will also provide a government advocacy update on the issues that impact energy and telecommunications companies on a daily basis.
