About this conference

CMU Energy Week 2026 is the flagship event of Carnegie Mellon's Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation, bringing together energy and sustainability leaders, scholars, investors, and entrepreneurs from academia, industry, and government. The conference focuses on reinventing the grid for an electrified future, addressing the challenges of an aging grid, extreme weather events, and new energy demands from artificial intelligence and electrified sectors like buildings, vehicles, and factories. It aims to facilitate discussion and drive action towards decarbonizing the energy economy, enhancing the grid's reliability, affordability, and resilience through modernizing infrastructure, integrating renewable energy storage, and managing complex energy demand.
