Check out the discussion topics and confirmed speakers below!

Data Centers and Load Growth: Hype or Reality?

Data centers are increasingly in the conversation as a major driver of load growth in the United States. This fireside chat will help put data center growth into perspective as a significant factor.

  • Jeff Hanson, Senior Director of Energy Supply Chain, Digital Reality
  • Kay McCall, Board Chair, Renewable Energy Alliance Houston

 

Energy Storage: Is It the Missing Link? 

With the growth of variable load and generation, energy storage has become critical. This panel combines their knowledge and perspective to discuss the opportunities and challenges in storage, and the solutions it offers.

  • Moderated by Eric Pogue, Partner and Global Chair of Power and Renewable Energy, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP
  • Brian Hayes, CEO, Key Capture Energy
  • Jonathan Tijerina, Vice President of Corporate Development, CPS Energy
  • Peter Belmonte, Business Development Director, NHOA Energy


Off-Grid Generation: Band-Aid or Bridge to Grid Stability?

As load grows and curtailment hinders transmission, many turn to off-grid solutions as their primary source of power. The panelists will discuss how companies are approaching the opportunities and meeting the challenges in these growing sectors.

  • Moderated by Jessica Adkins, Partner, Sidley Austin LLP
  • Sterling Clifford, Director of Government Affairs, Sunnova
  • David Putnam, Associate Director of Construction, EDP Renewables North America
  • Nathan Ough, President and CEO, VoltaGrid

 

Transmission: Obstacle, Opportunity, or Both? 

For years transmission constraints have impacted the deployment of new generation, and specifically, renewable energy. How are developers mitigating the impact of the constraints? What opportunities are presented by these transmission challenges? This panel will discuss these important issues and more.

  • Moderated by Michael Skelly, Founder and CEO, Grid United
  • Crystal Coffman, Senior Director of Business Development Execution, Pattern Energy
  • Pedro Pereira, CFO and Chief Business Development Officer, energyRe
  • Anne Laure Chassanite, Managing Director Networks North America, ENGIE


We look forward to seeing you there!
