The desire for undergrounding transmission has never been higher resulting from the need to increase a system’s reliability, resiliency, and community preference. Operators and owners that have underground transmission understand the challenges they face efficiently operating underground systems and constructing them in the first place. This conference, hosted by Eversource, will bring together utility professionals to discuss and share detailed best practices for underground transmission design, construction, and operation, while also highlighting environmental, siting, and maintenance issues. Register today to network with your peers and gain valuable experiential knowledge on these complicated systems.

In an era of rapid technological innovation, market volatility, and workforce transitions, this conference equips ambitious women with the tools, confidence, and connections to lead with impact, drive organizational change, and achieve your next career milestone.
The Northeast energy system is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Increasing electrification, growing data center loads, ambitious state decarbonization targets, and the emergence of new clean energy resources, such as offshore wind and hydrogen, are reshaping the grid faster than ever. These changes, combined with aging transmission and distribution infrastructure that faces capacity limits, deferred maintenance, and vulnerability to extreme weather, are placing stress on the system, raising concerns about reliability and affordability, and challenging traditional planning, permitting, and market approaches. At the same time, federal funding and state policy reforms offer significant opportunities and risks for stakeholders across the region. The Northeast Energy Summit brings together regulators, utilities, developers, financiers, and innovators to confront these challenges head-on and explore actionable solutions.
EUCI Past Events
This seminar is intended for the non-power system engineer and others who want to develop a basic understanding of power systems, their components, and how they fit and act together within a power system. With the recently announced sale of Hydro One transmission assets, this seminar will also benefit those buying the assets and wanting a better understanding of how the transmission system works and fits into the power system. Overall concepts of power system design and operation will be stressed as they lead to an understanding of the hows and whys of power system design and operation. The seminar is devoid of mathematics. However, a basic understanding of high school algebra and physics is required. Fundamental concepts are emphasized.
This training was designed primarily for accountants and non‐accountants in the energy and utility field. We will break down the FERC Uniform System of Accounts. The goal is for participants to have a better understanding of the accounting function and how their role fits into the accounting function.
The 12th Annual Western Transmission Summit will convene leaders and operators from across the Western U.S. grid to discuss new challenges and developments to the regional transmission system. As Western operators and legislators innovate new methods for grid operation, including its recent movement towards regionalization, the rest of the industry will continue to watch the West for what’s next. The 2020 Western Transmission Summit will discuss forward-thinking tools for modernization such as wind and solar integration, microgrids and the influence of DERs, and legislative developments in the aftermath of a more congested and vulnerable system. Speakers represent a variety of different perspectives from RTOs to utilities, federal legislators, and construction contractors. Hear from some of the leading voices on the future of transmission expansion in one of the most advanced areas in the world.
Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) have rapidly developed momentum in certain sections of the US and throughout the world in response to climate and energy security concerns. This is a practical conference for electric and gas utility professionals. It features prominent utilities and policy decision-makers active in the RPS arena. The conference will not advocate for or against RPS mandates. Rather, it will explore the issues, challenges, and pragmatic responses necessary for utilities to evaluate, respond, and implement (if appropriate) RPS
This annual conference will provide owners with the next step in the plant closure process by sharing vital information and lessons that have been acquired by the generation owners in this program. The conference will wrap up with a question and answer session of what owners should know during the process followed by a separate post-conference workshop on the comprehensive planning and process that goes into closing a facility.
Does it make sense to offer these new rates as opt-in, opt-out, or mandatory? Should TOU rates be offered with a significant reduction in off-peak rates so customers will have some motivation to reduce and shift peak loads? Should the new rates including a dynamic pricing element, or should they be just plain old TOU rates? Should the new rates include demand charges? If so, should they be based on maximum customer demand or customer’s demand at the time of system peak? These questions and more will be addressed at EUCI’s annual residential demand charges and TOU conference. 2020 is a milestone year as a new decade begins and there will be a tremendous need for dynamic load flexibility. Conference attendees will take away valuable knowledge and have the opportunity for quality networking with industry peers.
Questions arise when utilities consider these rates. Does it make sense to offer them as opt-in, opt-out, or mandatory rates? How should the utility set its TOU rates to both reflect costs to serve and incentivize desired customer behaviors? Should the new rates include a dynamic pricing element, or should they be just plain old TOU rates? Should the new rates include demand charges? If so, should they be based on maximum customer demand or customer’s demand at the time of system peak? These questions and more will be addressed at EUCI’s annual TOU and residential demand charges conference.

This annual program will provide owners with the next step in the plant closure process by sharing vital information and lessons learned that have been acquired by the generation owners and consulting subject matter experts involved. Streamlining the process and its critical steps will be discussed as well as highlighting project safety, case studies, and more. The symposium will also include a question-and-answer session of what owners should know during the closure process including the comprehensive planning that goes into closing a facility.
