4th Annual KENTUCKY

ENERGY

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Why attend ...

The 4th Annual Kentucky Energy Management Conference brings together industry and government experts to share their valuable insights on energy. This year’s discussion, held just days after the Nov. 4 election, will focus on what the results mean for the future of energy in Kentucky and how it will impact your business.

Learn how to achieve your short-term goals of budgeting for energy costs today, as well as insights into the future cost and availability of energy sources such as coal, natural gas, wind, solar and nuclear. While these many important energy topics will be covered, discussion of the recent announcement from the Obama Administration that it plans to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants will play a prominent role at this year’s conference. We realize you simply can’t meet today’s energy challenge if you don’t understand the problem – we're here to help.
