Electricity demand is surging as growth in manufacturing, the data center boom and the electrification of transportation and all require more energy. That spike in our energy needs will stress the country’s aging power system and complicate efforts to decarbonize the economy. But growing demand also brings opportunities to invest in making our electric grid and transportation fuels cleaner and more reliable.
This event brings together the leaders who are making our power systems more affordable, reliable and clean. We’ll hear how these power players are solving touch challenges and seizing the opportunities in the clean energy economy despite a rapidly shifting policy landscape.
