WELCOME
This in-person, peer-to-peer forum will discuss current industry issues and events being managed by plant managers. The meeting is open to plant managers and assistant plant managers from all non-nuclear generating stations.
A plant tour of Big Bend Power Station will take place after lunch on day two.
Big Bend Power station is a major coal-fired power plant owned by TECO Energy which has undergone major modernization, including converting Unit 1 to state‑of‑the‑art natural‑gas combined‑cycle technology, significantly reducing emissions. Learning about this transition provides a real-world example of how utilities are reducing carbon footprints and updating aging infrastructure.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Station managers or assistant station managers from all non-nuclear electrical generating plants (fossil, CTs, Hydro, NG Reciprocating Engines, and manned renewable sites).
