The grid is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are at the heart of the solution. Join us for a dynamic conversation on the critical role of DERs in meeting load growth and building a more resilient, expansive, and efficient grid. Hear from Jigar Shah, Director of the Loan Programs Office at the U.S. Department of Energy, as he shares insights into the federal government's vision for DERs. Following the keynote, a panel of experts from the utility, technology, and sustainable infrastructure sectors will discuss new models to enable industry scale, including utility-led DER deployment. Learn how opportunities for collaboration between these key stakeholders can accelerate the transition to a clean energy future.
