2025 NCPA Annual Conference
September 24 - 26, 2025  ·  Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

The Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) is pleased to host its 2025 Annual Conference on September 24-26 at The Portola Hotel and Spa in Monterey, California.  Join us and spend a few days engaging in insightful discussions with industry leaders and energy policymakers regarding the dynamics shaping the electric sector today— including the challenges utilities face in providing safe, reliable, and affordable electricity against an unpredictable backdrop of climate adaptation, rapidly escalating load growth, and market-related developments and changes. 

This year's program will feature impactful industry CEOs, policymakers, and prominent thought-leaders covering a cross-section of key topics, including federal/state clean energy policies, transmission needs and market dynamics, resource planning, and how economy-wide decarbonization efforts are requiring innovation and collaboration like never before.  As the largest annual public power conference in California, the NCPA Annual Conference is an event you won’t want to miss!
