The 30th Annual LDC Gas Forum Northeast takes place in Boston, MA June 9 – 11, 2025

HOUSTON - May 15, 2025 - PRLog -- Over four hundred energy industry professionals gather in April to gain insight and conduct analysis of up to the minute issues facing the U.S. Northeast natural gas market region. The 30th Annual LDC Gas Forum Northeast takes place June 9 – 11, 2025 in Boston, MA. This is the industry's premier gathering for natural gas industry professionals, which is much more than simply a conference, with participants routinely negotiating commercial transactions during the event.

The Program for this year's event is packed with relevant critical issues that natural gas market stakeholders are facing across the value chain. A key theme spanning the Agenda is the reset of markets to support the policy of unleashing American energy, including supplying the remarkable projected increase in natural gas demand. Beyond this overarching theme, the Agenda also addresses issues unique to U.S. Northeast natural gas markets. Gas/electric coordination challenges, including electricity demand growth to serve AI Data Centers and general growth in reliable/non-intermittent electricity demand, translates into a significant forecasted increase for natural gas fired power generation. Midstream infrastructure expansions must be quickly developed to support the demand growth and facilitate supply from Appalachian production. Also, LNG Exports, primarily from U.S. Gulf Coast liquefaction facilities, is now competing for supply from production regions that traditionally serve U.S. Northeast markets.

In addition, recurring LDC Gas Forum topics include market fundamentals (supply/demand), natural gas supply capabilities, midstream infrastructure project updates, end use natural gas user perspectives, policy/regulatory/legal analysis, and technology innovations. All this against a backdrop of commercial operations involving producing, transporting, and buying natural gas.

The convergence of these market conditions translates into potential for volatility and the need for informed decisions on structuring commercial arrangements into the future.

The content/insight program of the LDC Gas Forum Northeast consists of 2 ½ days of keynote presentations, and moderated panels. A special Keynote address will be delivered by Toby Rice, President & CEO, EQT Corporation. Additional Keynote addresses will be provided by Kevin Little, Managing Director, Macquarie Energy.

The Program also includes six moderated interactive Panel discussions addressing a variety of timely topics, with knowledgeable subject matter experts including executives from: East Daley Analytics; Williams; Atmospheric G2; Natural Gas Intelligence (NGI); bp; Enbridge Gas; CB&I; REV LNG; Cashman Preload Cryogenics; Cleveland Advisory; PJM Interconnect; Enbridge Inc.; Electric Power Supply Association; Southern Gas Company; Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC); AlphaGen; Natural Gas Supply Association (NGSA); RBN Energy; BKV Corporation; Williams; NRG Energy; NatGasHub.com; Emerson; Vanguard Renewables; Trellis Energy Software; Modern Hydrogen; Enbridge Gas Ontario; Duke Energy; and Tract. These Panel discussions offer an excellent opportunity to gain insight on topical issues, with drill-down focus, from a variety of perspectives.

The agenda also allocates multiple sessions of dedicated time for networking, to facilitate discussion, including with speakers, and to meet and connect with existing and prospective customers.
