Western utilities are navigating a high-stakes energy landscape. Utilities must acquire and operate resources in a time of rising costs, constrained supply chains and complex institutional structures, all while keeping rates manageable and meeting state requirements. This summit examines the strategic decisions, market mechanisms and new ideas shaping the West.
