9:15 AM – 10:00 AM | Policy in Practice: Energy One Year Later
Nearly a year into the new administration, the dust has settled on campaign promises and early executive orders. What’s been implemented, what stalled in Congress, and what’s been reshaped by agencies like FERC, DOE, and EPA? This panel will evaluate the real impact on energy markets, customer costs, and competitive choice. We’ll also explore the regulatory horizon for 2026–2027 and debate whether federal actions are helping or hindering innovation in retail markets.
10:00 AM – 10:30 AM
– Kevin Greiner, CEO, Gas South
10:30 AM – 11:15 AM | Grid-Ready Green: Reliability Meets Sustainability
As U.S. electricity demand surges, customers are pushing for ambitious sustainability commitments but the need for reliable, dispatchable power has never been greater. How can competitive markets deliver on both? This session will explore how brokers, suppliers, and customers can align sustainability goals with reliability requirements and what “sustainable but practical” looks like in today’s retail markets. Panelists will discuss strategies for balancing renewable growth with grid stability, the role of storage and flexible generation, and how customer expectations are shaping the future of sustainable retail energy.
11:15 AM – 12:00 PM | Digital Trust: Accuracy, Transparency, and the Customer Experience
For customers, trust often comes down to the basics: accurate bills, clear contracts, and fast responses when issues arise. For brokers, choosing which suppliers to recommend hinges on strong partnerships built on accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. Technology is becoming a key differentiator, as retail energy suppliers and service partners use new tools and AI integrations to simplify transactions, enhance performance, and put more powerful capabilities in sales hands. This panel will explore how technology is reshaping operations and sales across the broker–supplier–customer relationship — where it’s working, where it still falls short, and what improvements could unlock the next wave of innovation across the retail energy value chain.
