Smith, deputy assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of Energy, and Michael G. Morris, chairman of American Electric Power, will be keynote speakers at EUEC 2013, the U.S.’s largest energy, utility and environment conference to be held at the Phoenix Convention Center from Jan. 28 to 30, 2013.

The plenary session will include presentations by Dr. Bryan Hannegan, vice president of the Electric Power Research Institute, Mark Brownstein, chief counsel for the Environmental Defense Fund, and Dr. Prabhu Dayal, president of C-Trade and chairman of EUEC.

More than 1200 delegates have pre-registered for the 16th year of this professional networking and educational event where government, industry and environmental groups meet to share strategies and ideas for safe and clean development and use of domestic energy resources. Discounted advance registration ends Jan.15.

“Economic benefit, environmental impact and national security goals shape our domestic energy policies and directly impact energy companies and consumers. EUEC is pleased to provide the forum for leaders to discuss strategies to move the U.S. toward clean energy and energy independence,” said Dr. Dayal. “We’re proud to welcome back Honorable Smith and Assistant Administrator McCarthy as two of our outstanding keynote speakers, along with senior representatives from industry to provide the utility industry’s perspective on national policies.”
