Will you be at CERAWeek? Beginning next Monday #energy leaders from around the world will descend on #Houston to discuss strategies, challenges and innovative solutions for the road ahead. JERA Americas will be a part of the discussion. Join us next week as our COO John O'Brien, Jr. discusses power system reliability. See details below. Panel Description: Ensuring power system reliability is increasingly complex due to variable renewable energy and climate risks. Grid stability is threatened by permitting delays, revenue cannibalization and generation curtailment. How can policy changes, market design and regulatory oversight address these challenges while incorporating AI and enhancing extreme weather resilience? #CERAWeek #CERAWeek2025 #HTown #Conference #JAM

At JERA Americas, #learning never stops. And we believe we learn best from one another. At our most recent Tea and Teach, JAM’s ongoing internal lecture series, colleagues had the opportunity to learn more about our development team and the many exciting projects it oversees throughout the #Americas. Each Tea and Teach is different, offering opportunities to learn new areas of the business, stay informed, and connect with executive leadership and industry #SMEs. We all do better when we know more and work together – plus, anytime is a good time for a good #cuppa tea. #energy #classroom #innovation #development #JAM
