FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION
Technical Conference on Northeast
Energy Infrastructure
Docket No. AD04-5-000
NOTICE OF CONFERENCE
(April 1, 2004)
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will hold a
conference on energy infrastructure issues in the northeastern
states on Thursday, June 3, 2004 at the Hilton New York, 1335
Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY.
The conference is for the purpose of further exploring the
adequacy and development of the electric, natural gas, and other
energy infrastructure in the Northeast. This region includes
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, and Rhode Island. In addition to expert panelists,
Governors, state utility commissioners, other elected officials
of the northeastern states and international representatives from
neighboring Canada are being invited to participate. The goal is
to identify the current state of infrastructure in the Northeast,
present and future infrastructure needs, and the means and
barriers to fulfilling those needs. We look forward to an
informative discussion of the issues to clarify how we can
facilitate and enhance a comprehensive collaborative approach to
energy infrastructure development for the northeastern states.
It is becoming increasingly clear that a well-functioning
infrastructure is necessary to meet Americas energy demands and
sustain workable, competitive markets.
The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude at 5:00
p.m. All interested parties are invited to attend. Hotel
rooms have been blocked at the Hilton New York under the code
"Northeast Infrastructure Conference" for any attending guests to
reserve a one- or two-night stay, but will be released by May 3,
2004. You can still reserve a room after that date, but on a
room- and rate-availability basis. Reservations for hotel rooms
