Welcome to Transmission & Interconnection 2027
You’re invited to the new Transmission & Interconnection Conference at Energy Projects Conference & Exhibition 2027. This unmissable gathering brings together the people planning, connecting and delivering grid infrastructure across Texas and the wider US.
Power demand is surging, and the race to expand transmission is on.
