Future Forward Energy

The Institute for Emerging Issues invites you to the 2025 Emerging Issues Forum: Future Forward Energy, on February 19, 2025, at the NC State University McKimmon Conference and Training Center in Raleigh.
 
North Carolina’s population is projected to reach 14 million by the year 2050 and energy demand is growing at the fastest rate seen in 30 years. The 2025 forum will examine the impacts driven by population growth, an influx of energy-intensive businesses, extreme weather and more on North Carolina’s energy landscape. Sessions will focus on energy affordability, workforce demands, and infrastructure reliability and resiliency.
 
This is the first Emerging Issues Forum in the 2025-2027 Future Forward Infrastructure series.
