February 9, 2009 More than 50 of the leading US utility companies have announced a key meeting on how the industry can unite and tackle the current climate.
The Next Generation Utility (NGU) Summit will be held early this year at the Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island, Florida, and will include the heads of technology and business development alongside their respected CEO community.
Government officials have also confirmed attendance to ensure that the program will drive immediate value back to their constituencies as well as thought leaders from Energy Services Network association and United Utilities Telecom council.
The utilities sector in the US is being transformed by factors including increased competition, strategic mergers and acquisitions, regulatory pressure around climate change, systems reliability, convergence, electricity, and renewable concerns.
For more information, see the NGU Web site.
