Session Topics
Nuclear Power
Energy capacity is limited, demand is growing and large users are finding new and old ways of solving this problem…baseload is needed and Nuclear is seen as a viable and potentially revolutionary answer to this need.
Grid Reliability and Economic Development
Improving reliability through upgraded substations and transmission lines provide increased reliability for users across the region, an improved environment for businesses and a better job growth. Due to increased demand, additional and improved transmission and grid stability is required for economic development.
Navigating State vs. Federal Authority
With many changes coming from Washington D.C. in funding and regulations - the question stands…Who calls the shots? Whether permitting, funding, capacity allocation, transmission, development, rules or guidance authority and directives matter.
Energy Storage Technologies and Implementation
Energy storage isn’t a concept—it’s a necessity. Whether you're dealing with solar integration, peak demand, or backup power, storage is key to reliability and grid flexibility. This session delivers a pragmatic look at technologies being deployed right now, from utility-scale batteries to hybrid solutions.
Implications of Missouri Senate Bill 4
