Baker Botts Partner Mark Schlackman will attend the Energy Dialogues Houston Energy Leaders Series and participate as a moderator during a discussion titled “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?
