Keynote: If You're Not Solving for Peak, You're Missing the Market
Wednesday April 29, 2026 10:00am - 10:30am PDT
Heritage Ballroom
As the clean energy industry navigates shifting policy and market dynamics, a deeper opportunity is emerging. The next era of solar and storage will not be driven by incentives, but by the physics of a rapidly expanding grid: demand management, distribution system utilization, and resource adequacy. Solving these challenges won’t be easy, but we can do hard things together. Those who succeed will align across industries to deliver grid services, community resilience, and affordable access to power.
