The Plant Management Institute is a network of electric power industry leaders dedicated to creating a forum and peer support network for knowledge transfer among the industry’s plant management.
The Plant Management Institute prides itself on being an open forum for free-flowing conversations about the challenges facing today’s plant manager/resource manager. With the power industry needing to address numerous changes to operations, some of the topics we normally cover have taken on new meanings or directions. Now more than ever, it’s time to reconnect with your peers to share stories of the challenges, and your solutions to these challenges that have been tried and tested.
If you are tasked with running a power plant, are responsible for the resources that supply power, or are in a supervisory role, this program is geared for you. We will open the event with a top-of-mind, roundtable discussion, and as topics become evident, we will consider those that are most important to a plant’s successful operation. We will then look as a group at those challenges, discussing those that are critical for operation and also those that may not be critical, but also can’t be ignored.
Add on Plant Management Institute during registration to get your pass to this important meeting. Plant Management Institute is only available to electricity generating companies/utilities only.

Electrification is often touted as the only path to a clean energy future. However, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that hydrogen could play a major role in decarbonizing our energy system.
In this session, we will explore the real reasons why you should care about a hydrogen future. We will discuss the benefits of hydrogen, the challenges that need to be overcome, and the early movers in the industry. We will also discuss how large equipment manufacturers are repurposing reciprocating engines to utilize hydrogen.
Topics to be covered:
Hydrogen hubs are clusters of hydrogen production, storage, and demand. They are being developed around the world as a way to accelerate the use of hydrogen as a clean energy source.
In this session, we will hear from several hydrogen hubs about their concept activities, opportunities, adjacent projects, seed markets, and connections. We will learn about the challenges and opportunities of developing hydrogen hubs, and the potential for hydrogen to play a role in the clean energy transition.
