Policy and Industry Leaders Gather for NEM Western Energy Policy Summit

“The National Energy Marketers Association (NEM) is pleased to hold its
Western Energy Policy Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada to discuss the
historic movement toward the availability of energy choice for consumers
in Nevada, California and other neighboring states. From last year’s
ballot initiative to make energy choice a constitutional right for
Nevadans, coupled with direct access and community choice aggregations
that are providing expanded energy options to more and more
Californians, the Western states are swiftly emerging as the next
frontier in retail energy markets and consumer-focused energy
innovations,” said Craig Goodman, President of NEM.

Leading experts guiding the Western energy policy initiatives including Nevada
Lieutenant Governor Mark Hutchison, Nevada Assemblyman Chris Brooks,
Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, former FERC Chairman Jon
Wellinghoff, and NV Energy VP of Energy Market Policy, Carolyn
Barbash, will lead the discussions. They will join other national
experts such as Baltimore City Mayor Catherine Pugh, DCPSC Chairman
Betty Ann Kane, and former ICC Commissioner Erin O’Connell-Diaz
as well as Presidents and CEOs of energy and technology companies from
across North America including NEM Executive Committee leaders Pierre
Koshakji, Director of Stream, Gerry Haggarty, President and CEO of SFE
Energy, and Kevin McMinn, COO of U.S. Gas & Electric, to
guide the Policy Summit on October 23-25, 2017, at Caesars Palace in Las
Vegas, Nevada.

“Consumer demand for energy innovations, such as renewable energy,
distributed energy resources, and energy efficiency products, is
exploding, as supported by advances in energy and information
technology. Competitive energy suppliers and competitive energy markets
are best-suited to meet these consumer demands. We look forward to
robust dialogue at the Policy Summit to explore the best path forward
for Western energy markets to achieve this goal,” said Goodman.
