NAGF 2025: Day 1 Insights from Monika Simoes, Mara Abbott, Will Bernholz

Recorded live on the morning of day two at the 2025 North American Gas Forum, this episode of the Energy Perspectives Podcast captures a midpoint reflection on what had already emerged from day one discussions and what leaders were focused on as the forum continued.

Will Bernholz moderates a conversation with Monika Simoes, CEO of Energy Dialogues, and Mara Abbott, Chief of Staff at OpenMinds, to synthesize insights heard across panels, private conversations, and policy remarks during the opening day of NAGF.

Together, they compare notes on where alignment was clearly forming, where constraints were surfacing, and what participants were eager to hear as the dialogue moved into its second day.

The discussion reflects:

How operators emphasized the infrastructure bottlenecks shaping projects outcomes
What policymakers said about permitting reform and regulatory certainty
Where investors flagged data center demand colliding with long lead times

This episode offers a real time checkpoint from inside the forum, grounded in what was heard at NAGF and the questions still shaping conversations.
