This month, Eleven57 Energy had the opportunity to participate in the CEMA (Center for Energy Markets & Analysis) 2025 conference, hosted at Rice University. As a company dedicated to solving the energy trilemma—security, affordability, and sustainability—our presence at CEMA was both purposeful and energizing.
CEMA continues to be a premier platform for discussing the future of energy infrastructure, and this year’s theme, “Optimizing Markets for the Next Generation of Energy”, couldn’t be more aligned with Eleven57’s mission.
Forging Connections with Energy Thought Leaders
Among the highlights of the event were powerful keynotes and panels from industry icons and academic leaders:
- James E. Smith (Dartmouth College) explored long-term risk modeling in infrastructure planning
- Frank A. Wolak (Stanford University) tackled grid economics and market regulation
- David Brown (Duke University) addressed energy policy in emerging markets
- Stefan Reichelstein, PhD (Stanford / Mannheim) shared insights on clean technology economics
- Vincent Kaminski (Rice University) delivered a compelling keynote on the evolution of energy finance and commodity markets
Our team was particularly inspired by the rigorous discussion surrounding the need for precision data, resilient supply chains, and intelligent instrumentation—all areas where Eleven57 and our manufacturing partners, including McMenon Engineering, bring value.
Bridging Global Expertise with Local Impact
As a U.S.-based consultant and distributor for McMenon Engineering Services Ltd, Eleven57 is committed to bridging the gap between global engineering excellence and the practical realities of North American infrastructure. Conversations at CEMA reinforced the urgency for better tools, smarter systems, and greater cooperation across continents and sectors.
Looking Ahead
Our mission—powering 1,157 watts per capita globally by 2050—is ambitious, but conferences like CEMA reaffirm the collective will to push the boundaries of energy innovation.
We look forward to deepening collaborations started at this event and continuing to support utilities, infrastructure developers, and OEMs across the country in building a smarter energy future.
