Grid Flexibility Summit

Surging load from AI data centers, electrification, and domestic advanced manufacturing is colliding with aging infrastructure, extreme weather, rising cost of energy, and pressed timelines. Addressing this will require more than traditional grid investments — it will require flexibility, clever planning, and tighter alignment between utilities, project developers, regulators, and large energy users. Through candid discussions and real-world case studies, attendees will explore how grid flexibility can act as a reliability resource, how C&I customers can become active grid partners, and how a flexible grid buys time for the development of utility-scale projects. Designed as an intimate, decision-focused forum, the event prioritizes practical insights over theory — and action over aspiration. Topics will include: Managing Explosive Load Growth Without Breaking the Grid, Aligning Utility Planning, Regulation & Public Interests, Grid Flexibility as a Reliability Resource, C&I Customers as Grid Partners, Distribution Grid Resilience in an Era of Extreme Events, Faster Interconnection & Permitting for Critical Loads, Data, Digitalization & Decision-Making Confidence, Launching Pilot Programs.
