Please mark your calendars to hear from top industry and university speakers within the energy field of engineering on Navigating the New Era of Resource Strategy.

 

Electric load is growing at its fastest pace in decades at a time when coal plants are retiring and policy uncertainty is high.  In this environment, utilities are facing a perhaps unprecedented challenge in balancing affordability and reliability.  The 2026 CAPER Spring Meeting will examine how southeastern utilities are adapting their resource-planning strategies to face these mounting challenges.
