From November 9-11, energy, financial, and technology leaders convened at EEI’s 60th annual Financial Conference to discuss shared priorities and opportunities to meet America’s energy needs.

EEI President and CEO Drew Maloney opened the conference by outlining EEI member companies’ commitment to bolstering the energy grid:

“We will invest $1.1 trillion during the next five years, and I think that could be a conservative estimate. These investments support local jobs, empower communities, and drive economic development.”

Maloney joined a panel discussion on streamlining permitting and cutting government red tape with Ameren President and CEO Marty Lyons and Moelis Vice Chair and Managing Director Eric Cantor. He also spoke with WEC Energy Group President and CEO Scott Lauber about how America’s electric companies are meeting data center demand quickly and affordably for customers.

In addition to conducting one-on-one interviews with top electric company CEOs, CNBC’s Brian Sullivan moderated a panel discussion on the future of energy and innovation financing with EEI Vice Chair David Campbell, chairman and CEO of Evergy, IDACORP and Idaho Power President and CEO Lia Grow, and Entergy Chair and CEO Drew Marsh.
