Baker Botts is proud to sponsor the Energy Leaders Series - Energy Dialogues. The Houston Energy Leaders Series, hosted in partnership with the Baker Institute for Public Policy’s Center for Energy Studies, will bring together senior energy, policy and investment leaders to assess how the post-election landscape may affect gas and power markets, infrastructure development and capital investment. The discussion will examine how the election results may shift policy and regulatory priorities—and what those shifts could mean for the direction and pace of development across gas and power.

Baker Botts Partner Mark Schlackman is moderating the below panel:

• "Power Markets, Infrastructure & Demand"
  • How are power demand fundamentals evolving, and how are data centers, industrial growth, electrification, and reliability needs reshaping load profiles? What does this mean for system planning, affordability, and long term resource adequacy?
  • How are capital flows shifting? What signals are investors using to evaluate project viability, regulatory certainty, and the timelines for large scale power infrastructure?
  • What structural changes are needed to accelerate delivery and reduce friction across federal, regional, and state processes? What are the opportunities and challenges post-election?
