Montana Energy 2016 summit to be held in March

U.S. Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) said on Monday that the Montana Energy 2016 summit will be held March 30-31 in Billings.

“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 event, which will take place March 30-31, is sponsored by the Montana Contractors’ Association, the Montana Petroleum Association, the Montana Coal Council, the Montana Chamber Foundation, KLJ and Daines.

his is the third annual summit, which is used to discuss energy in Montana. This year, the event is expected to have a new look and feel. Professionals in the energy industry, both in the private and public sectors, are expected to participate.
