If the changing energy regulatory landscape has you dreaming of going to Oz, listen in! Turbulent geopolitical tensions are forcing consumers in the United States and in nations the world over to reconsider energy security, the diversification of energy supply, new energy supply routes and energy costs. Many companies are wondering how commodity markets will react to the quickly changing regulatory landscape. We recognize that by June, the energy landscape could look very different than it does today – and that topics are likely to shift, change, or evolve in a new way. Know that CES has its eye on market trends, on geopolitics, and related ripple effects and will present the most relevant and current information that you need to know to help you best manage your business.
Register to attend Competitive Energy Services’ free online energy market seminar, titled “Volatility, Geopolitics, and a Changing Regulatory Landscape – Oh My!: The Impact on Business,” which will be held on Wednesday, June 11 from Noon – 1:00 p.m. (including Q&A) and join CES Energy experts who will be on hand that day to cover top-of-mind energy topics, including:
After three years of extreme volatility in energy markets, commodities prices have broadly stabilized for the near term. Will energy markets remain stable between the historic lows seen during the pandemic and historic highs seen in 2022, or will we see more price volatility? Lower inflation, strong domestic energy production and the addition of low-cost renewables is helping to keep prices low. Adverse weather conditions, escalating geopolitical tensions, and soaring shipping costs are among risk factors to keep an eye on. Competitive Energy Services' free online energy market seminar, titled “Energy & Renewables in Focus: Continued Price Stability or a Return to Volatility?”, which was held on Wednesday, June 12 from Noon – 1:00 p.m. (including Q&A) covers top-of-mind energy topics, including:

Energy prices climbed to a decade high last year but have moderated this spring. As we, once again, prepare for the warmer months ahead, we at Competitive Energy Services (CES) have been reflecting on the wild commodity price swings of the past 12 months and thinking about the factors that will impact markets in 2023 and beyond. We’re also pondering the macro trends that are likely to significantly reshape energy markets and how to plan for the inevitable change that’s on the energy horizon. Our free online energy market seminar, titled “Bridging the Future: Managing the Energy Commodity Transition," was held on Wednesday, June 7 from Noon – 1:00 p.m. (including Q&A) and covered timely topics relevant to energy markets, to your business – and to your budget.
Inflation, worldwide geopolitical tensions, and the associated energy crisis are on everyone’s radar these days. The unfortunate reality is that New England could be severely impacted by this crisis in the form of record high winter energy prices.

This virtual seminar covered a variety of topics relevant to the New England energy markets:
Let's talk solar! Ever since the State Legislature passed L.D. 1711 in June of 2019, solar development in Maine has been a hot topic. Maine's legislature is weighing in on the future of the program while the industry's marketing and development efforts are in full swing. In the news, we had heard a lot about solar - confusion strewn by CMP for solar projects seeking to connect to the grid, anger and frustration from the renewable energy industry, and an investigation into CMP launched by the Maine Public Utilities Commission and Governor Janet Mills.
Get it while it's hot! Competitive Energy Services (CES) has been working with over 40 businesses and organizations to take advantage of the significant financial and environmental opportunities offered by solar development in Maine, and we want to share everything we've learned so far. In this webinar, we answered your questions and cover all the basics:
