The Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the 2025 Energy Summit, set for Tuesday, August 19th at the Grand Junction Convention Center. This full-day event will bring together business leaders, industry experts, and community stakeholders for an in-depth look at the policies and innovations shaping Colorado’s energy future.
We are especially honored to welcome Martin (Marty) Durbin, Senior Vice President of Policy and President of the Global Energy Institute at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as our opening keynote presenter. Durbin’s session—“Cutting Through the Noise: What U.S. Energy Policy Really Means for the West”—will offer attendees a clear, balanced look at current federal energy policy and how it translates into real-world impacts for energy producers, utilities, and consumers across Western Colorado.
This summit is not about politics—it’s about policy and how it directly affects the businesses, communities, and industries that keep our region running. Energy remains a major driver of economic activity and employment throughout the state, and this event is designed to help attendees navigate change while maintaining reliability, affordability, and competitiveness in today’s dynamic environment.
Session topics include:
- Federal and state energy policy trends
- Energy development on public lands
- Federal permitting reform and its implications
- Grid reliability in a rapidly changing energy market
- Innovation in geothermal, nuclear, hydrogen, and oil & gas
- The evolving landscape of clean energy incentives
