Event Description: The Inaugural Energy Efficiency & Supply Forum builds on the 28-year history of the USEA- Johnson Controls Energy Efficiency Forum and 10 years of the USEA Annual Energy Supply Forum. More than 150 U.S. and international leaders from government and private industry have been invited to discuss the critical nexus between energy efficiency and supply which supports national and international energy policy agreements and local actions.

Event Theme: Speakers and discussion will explore the dimensions of how technology to improve energy efficiency in production, development and delivery, including electricity delivery, go hand in hand with energy supply and a fully integrated energy system.
Battery storage, distributed generation, smart microgrids, customers as ‘prosumers,’ the role of electric vehicles, algae R&D are all topics resonating across the energy sector. Distinguished guests will meet to explore the future implications and practical applications of these topics and more.
