ENERGY & INDUSTRY

The BNMA brought together manufacturers and industry partners for an engaging Energy & Industry Mixer at Resurgence Brewery.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for great conversation, networking, and insights from Dennis Elsenbeck, who shared valuable perspectives on the future of energy and its impact on manufacturing across Western New York.

Events like this help keep our community connected, informed, and energized for what’s next in local manufacturing.

The meeting provides an update on the CLPA with respect to goal achievement, cost impacts to industry, electric transmission and distribution capacity and requirements as it relates to climate initiative and economic development, a view of cost by understanding how to read your electric bill with respect to climate related costs and a view of NY's climate, regulatory and economic priorities. The presentation will also encompass what is pending with respect to all-electric initiatives, legislative updates including Cap and Investment, revision of the NY State Energy Plan, perspective and activities surrounding nuclear and exploration of natural gas bridge technologies to capture market demand behind the meter.

Whether you’re an executive, engineer, or just energy-curious, this session will unpack the real-world implications of the CLCPA, highlight potential risks to industry, and explore smarter alternatives that don’t compromise jobs or economic progress.
