On Sunday, November 10th, NARUC hosted our second Emerging Technologies Showcase at the NARUC Annual Meeting and Education Conference in Anaheim, California. This event featured seven industry leaders presenting burgeoning technologies in wildfire preparedness, ai, transmission monitoring, microgrids, load growth monitoring, and more. With small groups circulating through each company’s presentation and technology demo, regulators gained firsthand insights into the innovations shaping the future of energy resilience. Thank you to the companies that participated: AiDASH, Utilidata, Steffes, BoxPower, vGIS Inc., LineVision, and Form Energy. We’re deeply grateful for the support of the Department of Energy’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) and Office of Electricity | U.S. Department of Energy!

With U.S. Department of State - Bureau of Energy Resources Power Sector Program funding and in support of the Japan-U.S.-Mekong Power Partnership (JUMPP), NARUC met with government officials from Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, and the United States for the ninth meeting of the JUMPP Technical Advisory Group, which took place from November 21-22. In addition to reviewing progress made on priority regional power trading projects, participants worked together to continue to develop a shared, long-term vision for driving clean energy development and regional integration. This included a training on the fundamentals of cross-border power trade, emphasizing the need to ensure national strategies are harmonized sufficiently to help achieve energy security and resiliency goals while protecting consumer interests. #JUMPP #electricitysector #cooperation #powertrade #cleanenergy

#Throwback to the Newcomers Forum at #NARUCANNUAL24. The Newcomers Forum serves as an introduction to NARUC for newly appointed commissioners. New commissioners explore the association, its structure, operations, and ways to engage and have the opportunity to meet NARUC leaders.

A big week for the Japan-U.S.-Mekong Power Partnership (JUMPP)!?On its 5th Anniversary, JUMPP partners gathered in Vientiane for three separate activities to advance power market development in the region. On Nov 19-20, ENR Power Sector Program (PSP) partners at NARUC trained the Lao PDR energy ministry on establishing an independent power market regulator to maintain stable electricity prices. Also on Nov 19-20, PSP partners at Deloitte trained utility officials on technical methodologies for trading power over cross-border transmission lines — a key step towards greater electricity connectivity in @ASEAN. The week ended with the quarterly Technical Advisory Group meeting, led by ENR and the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to review progress and milestones on the JUMPP Action Plan. At 5 years, the partnership is strong as ever taking key steps to advancing power sector regulations, renewables, and trade!
