Please note the NAIOPWA April Breakfast will start at a new time, 8:30 a.m.

Major utilities in the Puget Sound region are working towards a renewable power-sourced future. What will this mean for the built environment in terms of infrastructure, capacity, and power management?  And how will the move towards a smart grid – integrating such elements as solar/wind, steam, and stored energy – change the architecture of our utilities’ future? As we wean our system off natural gas and attempt to meet the increased need brought on by electrified vehicles, how will these new demands effect the overall health and cost of our current energy grid? Join experts in Energy Policy and Utility Providers on April 20 to hear more and answer your questions about our grid-connected future.
