Stop Guessing Where Demand Is Headed. Start Forecasting What’s Next.
Utilities know the old playbook isn’t enough anymore. Load growth, tighter supply, and the gas-electric handoff have made demand forecasting harder than ever, and the cost of getting it wrong keeps rising.
At the NWGA Annual Energy Conference, PowerGEM’s Director of Sales for MCast, Alex Tansey, will be on the ground for three days of conversations about how leading utilities are sharpening forecasting against reliability and affordability pressure.
You’ll find Alex across all three days, with sessions covering Pacific Northwest gas markets, long-range planning, and international perspective on decarbonization from the Netherlands and Denmark. Reach out in advance to lock in time.
