But what about the infrastructure that supports the current wave of new generation\ , particularly in the gas market? While there’s a heavy focus on increas ing power production to support datacenters and other emergent load demand \, the infrastructure to support new generation is an equally critical pie ce of the formula. And in order to secure their ability to produce power\, many utilities are proactively investing in their gas supply infrastructu re.\n\nThis presentation takes a closer look at some critical electrical s ystem design considerations for development of gas supply to new generatio n facilities\, particularly design of critical long-lead components in an increasingly time-sensitive industry.\n\nVirtual Registration:\n\nVisit th e [peschicago.org](http://peschicago.org/) web site to register for the vi rtual session via Zoom.

Most recently\, Ryan has been supporting design and construction of liqu efied natural gas (LNG) peak shaving facilities. He currently serves as th e Electrical Department Manager for Burns & McDonnell’s Power Division i n the Great Lakes Region.\n\nRyan holds a Bachelors of Science in Electric al and Computer Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (’1 2) with a certificate in Power Systems and is a long-time member of both I EEE PES and IEEE IAS.\n\nIn-Person Arrival Deadline:\n\nWednesday\, 8 Apri l\, 11:45 am Central\n\nIn-Person Lunch Arrangements:\n\nBring your lunch with you.
