Summits and roundtables: ISO-NE staff share expertise at December events

Collaboration, expertise, and innovation are three of ISO New England’s core values. Staff embody these values by presenting their work at electricity industry conferences and events around the region, the country, and the world. Here’s a selection of their December speaking engagements. 

ISO New England Board of Directors Chair Cheryl LaFleur moderated the annual CEO roundtable at the New England Energy Summit, hosted by the New England Power Generators Association and the Dupont Group. The event was held Dec. 2 in Boston.

President and CEO Gordon van Welie also took part in the summit, where he shared his reflections on the evolution of the bulk power system during a “fireside chat.” He made similar remarks on Dec. 5 at the New England Electricity Restructuring Roundtable in Boston. The longest-serving head of any independent system operator, van Welie retired at the end of December.

Eric Johnson, executive director, External Affairs, provided an ISO-NE overview and regional update presentation on Dec. 11 in Berlin, Connecticut. The occasion was a joint meeting of the state chapters of the Association of Energy Engineers and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.
