CANADIAN & MEXICAN GOVERNMENTS TO PRESENT AT OUR CONFERENCE

With all the turmoil over tariffs, we've invited the Canadian and Mexican governments, through their U.S. embassies, to present their governments' positions on energy and trade at the Southern New England Energy Conference this year.

We are pleased to announce that both governments have accepted our invitations.  Canadian distilled petroleum exports to New England and New York are critical to our economy. Mexico is a significant exporter of crude to the U.S. which impacts downstream supply and pricing.

In the meantime we are working on our full education program, which is the hallmark of the Southern New England Energy Conference.

Stay tuned for details.

Held since 2012, our multi-state conference returns to the Fall this year for petroleum marketers and industry vendors.  It is co-sponsored by the Connecticut Energy Marketers Association, the Energy Marketers Association of Rhode Island and the Massachusetts Energy Marketers Association and the New York State Energy Coalition.

Our conference represents fuel oil markets in CT, MA, RI and the NY counties of NY City and Long Island. Retailers sell 1.44 billion gallons of fuel oil to 2 million residential customers in this region, representing 41% of all fuel oil sold in the U.S. annually! This conference is dedicated to providing meaningful education to those retailers.  Though we're not a trade show, we still offer up to 28 vendor exhibits, which are excellent networking opportunities for a conference our size.

Please see the Schedule Tab for 2024 session details to give you an idea of what we can offer.  This year will be even better!

NORA Technical Conference

NORA has long been providing cutting-edge presentations at our conference, as well as holding their Fall board meetings with us.  Last year they held education tracks on the first day, followed  by hosting a luncheon discussion on day two with our liquid heating colleagues from Europe. This insightful discussion provided those in attendance with a unique perspective of the many similarities and some of the distinct differences between these two liquid heating marketplaces and how the U.S. liquid heating marketer can gain insights from some of the lessons learned today in Europe.

These discussions serve as an informative backdrop to the subsequent NORA technical and policy workshop, that was held.
