The Net Zero Conference convenes climate leaders to collaborate on global solutions for change in the built environment. The event is a hub for people in our industry to gather, bridge knowledge gaps, and inspire a net zero future.
EES’s own MINH LE will be on the Powering Progress: The Role of Utilities in Achieving Net Zero panel, 2:15-3pm, South Hall, room 301B
As communities, businesses, and governments commit to ambitious climate goals, utilities sit at the center of the transition to a net zero future. In this session, leading utility providers will come together to discuss new initiatives and strategies to make net zero a reality at a utility scale.
The session will explore how utility providers are evolving their operations, infrastructure, and customer engagement strategies to deliver reliable, affordable, and decarbonized energy. They will focus on long and short-term plans to transition away from natural gas to an electrified grid statewide.
Attendees will gain insight into how utilities are shaping the energy landscape and building collaborative pathways toward net zero, with a focus on practical solutions, partnerships, and scalable strategies. Join the discussion!
