The next meeting of the
LIA’s Energy and Environment Committee will be held on Thursday, June 21st at 8:30a.m. at LIA HQ, 300 Broadhollow Road,
Melville (Lower Level of the Bank of America Building).
Our featured speaker at this meeting will be Stephen Whitley who is President and CEO of the
New York Independent System Operator. The NYISO is at the heart of New York State’s electric system, operating the high-voltage transmission network, administering and monitoring the wholesale electricity markets, and planning for the state's energy future. The NYISO is responsible for the reliable operation of New York’s nearly 11,000 miles of high-voltage transmission and the dispatch of over 500 electric power generators. In addition, the NYISO administers bulk power markets that trade an average of $7.5 billion in electricity and related products annually.
Each year, the NYISO issues its
Power Trends report, an annual review of the forces and factors affecting New York State’s electric system. Mr. Whitley will discuss this year's recently issued report with our Committee.
At this meeting, the Committee will also continue to explore and prioritize our goals. In advance of this meeting, please e-mail
Matt Cohen with any issues you recommend for the committee to discuss.
This member strategic committee is led by our co-chairs Robert Catell, Chairman of the Advanced Energy Research & Technology Center, and Harry Davitian, President of
Entek Power Services, Inc.
We look forward to seeing you there. Please RSVP to
Matt Cohen no later than Thursday, June 14th.
