A recap of our webinar hosted in partnership with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM).
*Event has occurred. Recording now available.*
Titan Energy partnered with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM) to host a timely webinar designed specifically for municipal leaders navigating today's increasingly complex energy landscape. With geopolitical pressures, new market structures, and evolving procurement considerations all converging at once, the session delivered clear, actionable guidance for community decision-makers across Connecticut.
Why This Webinar, Why Now
Municipal energy markets are facing a degree of uncertainty that we haven't seen in years. Geopolitical events — from ongoing conflicts abroad to domestic policy shifts — are reshaping both short- and long-term electricity and natural gas pricing. At the same time, new market structures like the Day-Ahead Ancillary Services Initiative (DASI) are introducing cost dynamics that many municipalities are still working to understand.
Our partnership with CCM allowed us to bring clarity directly to the people who need it most: town managers, finance directors, public works officials, and elected leaders responsible for managing community energy budgets.
What We Covered
The implications of ISO New England's Day-Ahead Ancillary Services Initiative — what it means for your electricity bills and why costs have surprised many municipalities.
How global conflicts and international energy dynamics are influencing electricity and natural gas prices in New England — and how to plan around that volatility.
Key considerations for municipalities when evaluating energy contracts — fixed vs. pass-through pricing, contract timing, and what questions to ask your supplier.
Insights to help municipal decision-makers evaluate timing, manage price risk, and make informed procurement choices that serve their communities well.
The session also featured a live Q&A segment, giving CCM members the opportunity to ask questions specific to their municipalities. The breadth and quality of questions from the audience reinforced just how much appetite there is for this kind of direct, expert guidance.
Key Takeaways for Municipal Leaders
If you weren't able to attend this morning, here are the core messages we want every municipal energy decision-maker to walk away with:
DASI is a real, recurring cost — not a one-time anomaly. Budget for it as a line item and understand whether your current contract treats it as fixed or as a pass-through. Most contracts pass this cost directly to the buyer.
Geopolitical volatility is compounding New England's existing supply constraints. The region's pipeline infrastructure limitations mean that international disruptions affect local prices more than many anticipate. This argues for hedging strategies rather than waiting for "better" pricing.
The right time to engage your energy consultant is before your contract renewal, not during it. Municipalities that plan 12–18 months ahead have significantly more flexibility in structuring favorable terms.
All-in pricing matters more than commodity rate alone. Comparing offers requires understanding what is fixed, what is capped, and what is fully exposed to market fluctuations.
