Event Details

About EPRI's 3rd Annual Water-Energy Transformation (WET) Forum:

The course for the transition to a deeply decarbonized economy will require cost-effective, reliable, and diverse solutions. This 3rd annual two-day forum is designed to be collaborative to inform and guide the water-energy sector as consumers, government entities, and stakeholders increasingly push for a low- to no-carbon future. Electric utilities, public entities, and multi-national corporations are seeking affordable pathways to large-scale decarbonization by 2030 and net-zero carbon by 2050. One of the most critical considerations for accelerated adoption of low-carbon technologies is water. This “water-energy nexus” will become more complex as the energy economy diversifies to achieve low-carbon goals. 


The forum will be facilitated by EPRI and industry leaders with expertise in a broad range of technical areas. There will also be a social event on Tuesday evening for additional networking opportunities.  

ATTENDANCE BENEFITS:
This forum is intended to facilitate discussion and illuminate the research needs to drive the industry forward.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
Continue to drive thought leadership on water and environmental issues arising from the Energy Transformation.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Water, environmental and R&D professionals as well as innovation and strategy leaders for the power industry. Professionals responsible for the implementation of technologies for decarbonized future as well as those concerned about environmental implications of net-zero carbon goals.
