Background and Context: On July 18, 2024, the Public Service Commission issued its Order Adopting Initial Utility Thermal Energy Network Rules that directed Department of Public Service Staff to convene a technical conference to explore existing thermal energy network systems to better understand how these systems currently operate and cost-effectively serve their customer bases.
This Existing Thermal Energy Networks (TEN) Technical Conference, held by Department of Public Service Staff, includes in-person presentations by representatives of municipal corporations and district energy companies currently operating thermal energy networks to discuss and illustrate system history, place-based planning and development, business/risk aspects, technical aspects, customer attraction, future plans, and recommendations to advance TENs.
The technical conference will provide participants the opportunity to interact and engage with industry leaders from New York, Minneapolis, Toronto and British Columbia.
Please feel free to forward the information to colleagues or other stakeholders you think might also benefit from participating.
To facilitate entry through building security, anyone attending the technical conference in person is required to send their name and contact information to Laurie Kokkinides at laurie.kokkinides@dps.ny.gov by March 18, 2025. Please contact Laurie if you have any questions.
