Enertech Capital Partners' Dave Kelly Slated To Give Keynote Address At Utility Partners' 6th Annual Customer Conference

Tampa, FL (April 20, 2001)-- Dave Kelly, Venture Partner with EnerTech Capital Partners, will deliver the keynote presentation at Utility Partners' 6th Annual Customer Conference in Clearwater Beach, Florida next month. In his address, "Selecting Technologies: An Insider's Perspective," Mr. Kelly will share his firm's criteria for identifying winning technology providers from the myriad offerings in the marketplace. Joining him for the "Selecting Technologies" follow-up session are two guest speakers: Juergen Ehrle, Head of Service Controlling for Main-Kraftwerke AG, a subsidiary of Germany's foremost utility, the RWE Group, and Stephen Hazel, Program Manager, Service Delivery for Nova Scotia Power, Inc.

"We're very fortunate to have Dave Kelly deliver our keynote this year," said Tim Reed, Utility Partners' President and CEO. "He's got his fingers on the pulse of this industry and thoroughly grasps the operational issues our partners encounter each day.  Having Juergen Ehrle and Steve Hazel share their strategies for coping with the challenges utilities face in this era of deregulation should really engage our attendees' interest."

The Utility Partners' Customer Conference, which will be held May 6th - 9th at the Radisson Suite Resort on Sand Key, boasts a 30% increase in attendees over last year's event. Over 40 vendors and exhibitors will be on hand for demonstrations and a trade show-style technology exchange to complement the educational programs.  This year's schedule focuses on learning opportunities and the development of new skills to address solutions for the distribution enterprise. The delegates traveling to the conference will choose from over 20 educational programs, participate in focused, information-packed breakout sessions, and have the opportunity to network with North American and European colleagues. In addition, a special post-conference "Boot Camp" is scheduled to teach Utility Partners' customers to analyze their return on investment.
