17th RMUE A Success

The 17th Rocky Mountain Utility Exchange took place in Vail, Colorado, September 25-28. With 195 registered attendees and 25 conference sponsors this was the largest group  ever to attend the Exchange. The conference featured 26 presentations from 43 different presenters, moderated by 17 co-chairs. The content is carefully curated by the RMUE Advisory Committee, made up of 20 industry advisors. There were presentations on the future of energy efficiency and collaboration strategies, EV opportunities, distributed energy resources, beneficial electrification, and funding programs. The highly anticipated roundtable discussion gave way to open and free dialogue among representatives of the attending utilities. Anne Dougherty and Leigh Michael, of ILLUME Advising, closed the conference with a conversation on Translating Equity Goals into Practices. Plans will soon be underway for the 18th Rocky Mountain Utility Exchange in 2024.
