About the Energy Innovations: LDC Gas Forums Rockies and West

What: “Energy Innovations” is the focus of this year’s 22^nd annual LDC Gas Forums Rockies and West. This is the premier event where 250+ industry professionals convene in San Diego in August to network, conduct dealmaking, and assess/analyze the West U.S.A. natural gas market via industry expert presentations, Q & A and follow-on discussion. A key theme spanning the Agenda is the reset of markets to support the Administration’s policy of unleashing American energy, including supplying the remarkable projected increase in natural gas demand. Beyond this overarching theme, the Agenda also addresses issues unique to U.S. Rockies & West natural gas markets. Gas/electric coordination challenges, including electricity demand growth to serve AI Data Centers and general growth in reliable/non-intermittent electricity, translates into a significant forecasted increase for natural gas fired power generation. Additional standard LDC Gas Forum topics include midstream project updates, virtual pipeline initiatives, producer capabilities, marketer perspectives, and LDC/end user expectations, in addition to market fundamentals analysis.
