Keeping the Lights On- Our National Challenge

 

April 21-22, 2008 - The Union League Club - 38 East 37th Street - New York, NY

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.
