ITC PARTICIPATES IN 65TH ANNUAL MICHIGAN ENERGY PROVIDERS CONFERENCE

---

Creating our energy future can only be accomplished through cooperation and collaboration across our industry.  For 65 years, the Michigan Energy Providers Conference (MEPC) has provided a forum to educate stakeholders on energy issues, enable partnerships within the industry and facilitate communication regarding energy policy in Michigan. 

In late July, with planning committee members representing a cross-section of the energy industry in Michigan (including ITC, DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, SEMCO, the Michigan Gas & Electric Association – and more), the conference has attracted key energy influencers for 65 years in a row.

Leading the development of topics and agenda, Kwafo Adarkwa, ITC Director Public Affairs, served as the Chair of this year’s conference and welcomed a sold-out audience.  Positive Outcomes from Pandemic Challenges; Could Michigan Weather it Better than Texas; Electric Vehicles in Our Energy Industry and Reducing Carbon and other Greenhouses Gases were some of the panel sessions hosted and staffed by industry leaders.  ITC’s Vice President, Planning – Chuck Marshall – participated on the Resilient Power panel, moderated by Michigan Public Service Commissioner Katherine Peretick. 

Continuing with the MEPC tradition of supporting a charity, participants heard from Veronika Scott, CEO of the Empowerment Plan, an incredible organization providing employment and training to homeless parents who manufacture sleeping bag coats for those in need.

ITC representatives look forward to their continued involvement on the planning committee for the 66th MEPC Conference next year in Bellaire, MI.
