Water and Energy:

 Meeting Today’s Challenges and Tomorrow’s Opportunities

People, water and energy supply are inextricably linked. In coming years, our ability to provide clean, affordable, and reliable energy and water will be further challenged by issues such as population and demand growth, a changing regulatory environment, climate change, and financial limitations.

This year Colorado Coal and Power Generation is pleased to partner with the Colorado Water Congress to offer a combined conference full of opportunities for new dialogue and information sharing. 

The first two days of the joint conference (August 23-24) focus on current issues in water supply and protection, including population growth, financing issues and political dynamics. The Water and Energy Reception Wednesday night, marks the transition into Thursday's conference sessions focused on energy and its relationship to water and economic development.  

Registration for the full conference through the Colorado Water Congress web site provides access to the entire three-day conference program, including the Thursday afternoon tours of the Trapper Mine and Craig Power Plant.  Registration for the Colorado Coal and Power Generation Conference (August 25) via their web site, includes the Water and Energy Reception on Wednesday night, the Thursday conference program and tours of the Trapper Mine and Craig Power Plant. 

There is an additional charge of $35 for all participants to the attend the Feel the Energy BBQ with steak dinner and live music on Thursday evening

The Colorado Coal and Power Generation group represents a cooperative effort by major coal producers, power-suppliers, local governments, and related businesses to provide relevant information and a practical perspective on current and future energy requirements, options, and economics, as well as associated challenges and opportunities.

The Colorado Water Congress is a statewide lobbying organization that includes more than 350 member organizations representing all aspects of water management and protection. In addition to two major annual conferences, professional development opportunities and networking, they offer a forum for legislators to share water-related legislation, and to vet and shape that legislation among a coalition of organizations representing the broad interests of the Colorado water community.

In conjunction with this conference, The Colorado Water Congress will hold its annual Summer Conference and Membership Meeting with more than 200 in attendance.  Providing another important opportunity for education, legislative updates, networking and more.
