Join Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman of the Board and
CEO, General Electric; David Gergen, political commentator and
former Presidential Advisor; and a broad group of electric
industry leaders, regulators, consumer and environmental
advocates, and representatives from Wall Street to discuss the
need for new electric efficiency, generation and transmission in
the United States.
Electricity demand is projected to increase by at least 30
percent by 2030 as the U.S. population increases, the economy
expands, and the use of electric technologies grows. At the same
time, projected reserve margins are declining across the country.
Meeting the country’s growth in demand will require intensifying
energy-efficiency measures as well as major investments in
expanding and modernizing many elements of the U.S. electric
system.
This conference will explore projected electric efficiency
improvements and generation and transmission investment needs;
discuss emerging technologies; and highlight case studies for
meeting this national challenge.
