Spring Meeting: Role of Utilities in Economic Development
The Spring Meeting will bring together experts in utilities and economic development to share insights and discuss strategies for leveraging utilities as a driver of economic growth. The event will be an excellent opportunity to network with industry peers, gain valuable knowledge, and engage in thought-provoking discussions.
We have arranged some exciting events, including tours of El Paso Electric's Rio Grande Power Plant and Systems Operations, a lunch with the El Paso Electric CEO, and presentations and discussions from New Mexico Gas Company, City of Las Cruces Utilities (water and wastewater systems), and CenturyLink/Lumen.
