NEECE23

In May, we joined the Northeast Energy and Commerce Association (NECA) to host the 29th Annual New England Energy Conference and Exposition (NEECE) in Providence. We enjoyed networking with attendees and gaining insight from discussions about the influences driving innovation in the energy industry.
