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.
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.
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.
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.
We look forward to seeing you there!
