When we talk about specific issues such as connecting New Derres to the grid, we are talking a lot about the unique utility of obstacles in the northeastern face. However, challenges are encountered when connecting the AI -fixed solutions to everything to deal with the extreme weather when the cleaner is just as widespread as the BIG Big Big Big solved in a better way. The regional approach is needed to find the right solution, which means better understanding the specific issues and opportunities in the northeast.
That is why these details will be shown in the DTT northeast, which is taking place in the Weston Boston City District on November 17-19, 2025. The annual Detech event in the D -Tech northeast is based on the long -standing legacy of the event, but it is designed to become a dedicated forum where utility leaders can learn how their colleagues are dealing with challenges and cultivating specific opportunities from the region.
The program may not lose high -level key notes, multiple workshops, and sessions, all of which are designed to give participants knowledge and tools to nourish the complex landscape of modern grid operations in the northeast. So, why are you there? There are five topics that will be searched in a manner that will make the Datack Northeast a must.
Regional Grid’s progress describes the future of the energy scenario
Although the progress of national policy receives many headlines, regional and financial policies are the same as the current and future of the energy scenario. That is why we have kept two key notes together to find out where things are and where they are walking with both in the entire region.
Judy Chang, Commissioner of the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, will start the program during the initial key note to balance the appropriate rates with the need to promote the best industry for consumers. After that, a panel of experts will discuss what it means to tackle the challenges of high amounts of resources, electricity, grid modernization, and climate flexibility, to provide a clear understanding to the participants as to where things are today and what is on the horizon. Penalists include:
- Greg Carnet, President – Rhod Island Energy
- Paul Chaodak, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer – Ever Source
- Lisa Welland, President, National Grid – National Grid New England
- Kim Herman, Deputy CEO – Avangrad
How are states like Mine, New York, and Massachusetts, how are they to deal with the same challenges, with their various geography and economies? They are approaching everything from the beach to the rural grid to modernization and transmission planning, which is why representatives from each state will come together for Wednesday’s key notes to do what these states need to work together so that “win” scenario can be created for everyone.
The northeast faces separate challenges, including transporting electricity, aging infrastructure, renewable integration, grid modernization, and rapidly severe weather. Detich Northeast will combine leading stakeholders to deal with these issues, which will provide the insights of modern technologies and strategies that ensure reliable, stability and consumer satisfaction. Join us in Boston, Massachusetts, November 17-19, 2025!
AI changes the expectations and actions of utility
Talking about new shape of utility workflows is nothing new, but what is different now is that the conversation has changed with the possibility. AI is here, and it is already changing things for the whole industry. In the northeast, utility is used to promote reliable, enhance the process, and improve customer service. Our “AI -powered operations” panel will gather leaders of major utility in the region so that they are seeing what they have learned from such events as well as what they are seeing for the future of AI in utility operations. Expert panels include:
- Amir Zia, Vice President of Electric System Operations. Long Island Power Authority (LIPA)
- King Wei, Director of Data Engineering – New York Power Authority
- Christopher Hailey, Lead Quality Analyst – National Grid
- Po Chen Chen, Data, Analytics and Advisory Director for AI practice
- Johni Zhao, Manager of Power System Automation – Ever Source Energy
The reality of the AI for utility is also the focus of a session, which will show the extent to which the AI field work can advance in the next two years. Can you really work more with less when using AI? This is a question as to how our “AI Push Field” session will find out that the traditional “spreadsheet and clipboard” is moving beyond the traditional “spreadsheet and clipboard” to make AI field operations safe and more efficient.
Evolution and understanding of the reaction of the demand and the modern analytics
Imagine that you are able to extend your demand response program. How much do internal stakeholders and external users make the difference in utility?
Who did that exactly, but how? Advanced Demand Response Management System (DRMS) Software. This technology automated the registration process, saving a ton of manual work and dramatically sharing things. During the session of the “Demand for Change”, you will hear how Edison also started using battery assets in his DR program while sent them with DRMS to increase the reliability of the grid. Offers are included:
- Ryan Milarki, Clean Energy Senior Expert – Kon Edison
- Perth Veswathon, Manager – EE
- Kohl Vyas, Senior Manager – EY
Changing expectations for the basic systems of utility is also an important topic of our session about activating data -powered operational awareness. Are you getting enough of your data? This panel will show how the northeastern utility is answering this question.
Providing customer value faster, smart and more reliable
Everywhere utility is looking for better ways to use distributed distributed energy resource management system (DARMS) everywhere. The National Grid has adopted a unique approach to this, which is why Summer Arafa will explain during the “Fatal Vision for Drums” during the session, where he will detail how the National Grid is presenting its drum delivery as a series of use matters, each with its own timeline. Their strategy has put consumers in the center of solutions that other people can learn when it comes to offering new products and services that are important at many levels.
Improving consumer reliability is also the focus of a session where DTE energy and e -source experts will show how the DTE has worked to take advantage of the risks of conditional asset risks to better describe consumer dialogue. They will explain how it has helped DTE better understand the risk of network and guide future investment plans, which requires priority to all kinds of utilities.
Lessons from extreme events of weather for utility throughout the country
In the northeast, forest fires and extreme weather were less than other regions, but it was changing rapidly. As the risk of forest fire increases, the utility is developing a new, smart approach to make the grid more flexible. But how do you look like these solutions?
The Wildfire Flexible Tech Stack Session will find out how utility can use technology in the process of droping the entire forest, which leads to planning and prevention to detect, react and recover. Participants will learn how to take advantage of integrated partnerships and data strategies to protect the grid. The presentants will also explain that the right technologies for a specific risk profile of utility should be chosen in such a way that innovation in practical operations is balanced.
The challenges of such weather are no longer specific to a particular region, many ownership utilities can learn from one another when it comes to mentality and reduction, which is why we collect technology leaders with great use on both East and Western beaches. This moderate debate will go beyond the geography because experts learn the use of technology technology to improve everything from daily operations to daily operations to emergency reactions. You will hear about the achievements and challenges of the real world and see how the first approach to any useful, technology can be a game changer for any utility, regardless of its location.
This is just a cursory look at some sessions that will explain the data in the northeast. You can see the full event agenda here or enroll now to join us this November in Boston!
