The ongoing conflict in the Middle East represents the largest ever disruption in oil supplies and has raised petroleum prices around the globe, causing inflation and economic weakness. In the near term, there is significant uncertainty about supply and what impact it will have on oil prices and the economy more generally. Longer term, the question of post-war production and political developments will determine prices facing global consumers.

Join NECA and the New England Chapter of USAEE for an in-depth discussion with Gary Peach who will address the immediate market situation and Michael Lynch who will explain the longer-term market implications.

PRESENTERS:
Gary Peach, Editor, Oil Market Intelligence
Michael Lynch, President, Strategic Energy & Economic Research

COST: NECA & USAEE Members, Government, Young Professionals & Students $10 | Non-Members $25

Additional Details:
Upon arrival, the Tour Leader will conduct a safety briefing and distribute personal protective equipment to all tour participants. The safety briefing will cover general visitor safety practices, and identify assembly locations in the event of an emergency.  Tour groups will be escorted at all times, and will follow a prescribed route through the plant. Tour participants should stay close enough to the Tour Leaders to hear them speak in a normal voice. The Tour Leaders will lead the group, and a FirstLight employee escort will also follow the group as a trailer to ensure the group stays together. Tour groups must obey instructions from the tour leader, escort, and/or plant personnel at all times, and must stay with the tour group and on the prescribed route at all times. Waivers for signature will be provided before or at the tour.

Personal Protective Equipment – Long pants and closed-toe shoes with a uniform heel are required for all tour participants (e.g. no sandals, Crocs, ballet flats, or shoes with a heel). FirstLight will provide hardhats and safety glasses with side shields, as well as hearing protection if required based on plant operations.

Personal belongings – Tour participants must not bring bags, backpacks, food, beverages, or other items that might encumber their movement on the tour. Photography will be allowed in the plants, but Tour participants may not take pictures of the control rooms or of FirstLight plant personnel without their permission. The Tour Leader will stop at designated points for photography, and at other times tour participants should put away phones to avoid distractions and maintain full awareness of their surroundings.

Due to unforeseen maintenance or security restrictions, the tour may be cancelled at any time with minimum notice. Should this occur, the group will be contacted as soon as possible, and the tour rescheduled if possible.

Join NECA for its third annual Energy Innovation Forum! This event will bring together a broad range of energy industry professionals and companies to identify and discuss the most innovative tools and strategies being used to advance the energy industry. With ample networking opportunities, outstanding visionary speakers and an occasion to visit Prince Lobel’s newly-renovated office space in Boston, this is a function you won’t want to miss.

As part of this event, we are soliciting concepts, products and strategies that individuals, companies and agencies are developing to provide innovative solutions that tackle the objectives of the energy industry: providing clean energy and reducing carbon emissions, addressing reliability and electrification, and mitigating costs to customers. We welcome innovative solutions from teams and individuals from across the country and will prioritize those that are relevant to the energy industry in the Northeast US. A designated committee will select four nominees to present at the event, and each will receive an award. Learn more here.
