Experts predict that peak demand growth for power will outpace supply in the next few years, and several regions of the U.S. will use up their excess capacity during that time. In the Mid-Atlantic region, additional capacity will be needed as early as 2008. In addition, transmission challenges, state struggles with deregulation, and pending mergers of large utilities are changing the landscape of the power industry in this important region.

Platts Mid-Atlantic Power Markets Forum will feature in-depth case studies and discussion on these critical topics:

• Proposed National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors
• Long-term rate stability
• Transmission pricing models
• Project financing
• Building new generation plants
• The role of renewable energy in the region’s future

Who will attend?
This conference will be valuable for executives representing energy companies including utilities, transmission and distribution, generation, and related businesses. Commissioners, legislators, and other representatives from the region’s states will gain knowledge for use in planning. Representatives from banks and investment companies working in the power market, as well as consultants and attorneys will also benefit from attending this event.
