Daines to Host Energy Summit in Spring 2016

Senator Steve Daines announced his plans to lead the "Montana Energy 2016" summit this upcoming spring.

Daines will lead the conference, where he will continue the discussion around state and national energy opportunities and look at Montana’s energy potential.

Daines said he conference will include energy professionals, policy and decision makers at all levels, contractors and associated industry professionals.

"Montana holds a vital role in securing our nation’s all-of-the-above energy strategy and it’s vital that we work together to ensure our state remains an energy leader for years to come," Daines said. "Montana Energy 2016 will bring together key stakeholders to help increase innovation and move Montana’s energy opportunities to the next level. Montana can help power the world – but only if we work together to increase opportunity and limit efforts to hinder any part of Montana’s diverse energy portfolio. Through Montana Energy 2016, we will keep Montana at the forefront of the nation’s energy conversation."

The seminar will take place in Billings on March 30 and 31.

The event is sponsored by Daines, the Montana Contractors’ Association, the Montana Coal Council, the Montana Petroleum Association, the Montana Chamber Foundation and KLJ.
