SUMMARY:Regional Energy Outlook
DESCRIPTION:Energy has become a defining issue for Greater Washington — shaping where businesses locate\, what housing costs\, how institutions plan\, and whether the region can compete for the next generation of economic growth. \nOn July 16th\, GWBOT brings together 150 of the region’s most senior business\, institutional\, utility\, and government leaders for a focused\, data-grounded conversation on what the energy picture actually looks like — and what coordinated regional leadership will require. \nThis is not a policy debate. It is a shared reckoning with the full picture: costs\, demand\, infrastructure\, supply\, and the real decisions ahead. \nFeaturing a keynote data frame\, an executive panel anchored by regional utility and industry leadership\, and a closing fireside with Governor Wes Moore of Maryland\, this conversation is designed to move the region’s most influential leaders from fragmented awareness to shared understanding — and toward a Greater Washington energy agenda that supports affordability\, reliability\, sustainability\, and growth together. \nPlease note: This event is exclusively for invited Greater Washington Board of Trade members. For more details\, please inquire through events@boardoftrade.org. \n
