California Energy Transition

May 6 - 7, 2025
Sacramento, CA

Connect With California’s Energy Market Leaders for the Latest Insights Into the Transformational Policy, Reforms, and Strategies Shaping the Golden State’s Energy Transition

Faced with the state’s commitment to 100% decarbonization and with burgeoning energy demand driven by new data centers, EVs and building electrification, California needs to build up system capacity to handle the necessary generation, storage, transmission and distribution capacity at an increasing pace. LSEs, project developers and financiers are jockeying for position to get ahead of the enormous systemic growth.

Simultaneously, a number of regulatory changes to California power markets are being rolled out. A new procurement mechanism is seeking to add 10.6 GW of long-lead time clean energy resources, including 7.6 GW of offshore wind, geothermal energy and long-duration energy storage. Authorities have also implemented transformational Interconnection, transmission expansion, and resource adequacy reforms, aimed to break up the bottlenecks that have been bogging down project and market development the last few years. In addition, GETs, microgrids, new financing mechanisms, and novel decarbonization technologies including CCUS and hydrogen will all play roles in the California power system of the future. What lies ahead for legacy technologies and assets? How can you identify the best opportunities, counter the challenges and handle the risks in this dynamic situation?

Infocast’s California Energy Transition Summit 2025 will give you the answers. We have invited an unparalleled faculty of California policy makers, regulators, utility executives, renewable and dispatchable generation developers, financiers and other experts to provide the best available information on what the California energy markets will look and act like. In addition to sharing the strategies being utilized by leading players, the meeting will provide in-depth analysis of up-to-the-minute policy, plans and initiatives regarding resource adequacy; grid upgrades; project siting, and interconnection. It will lay out information crucial to best meeting the shifting needs of California’s commercial, industrial, and retail customers and energy buyers.

This is a can’t-miss event! Nowhere else will you get a unique forum offering the latest insights and unparalleled opportunities to meet and network face-to-face with California’s energy market leaders.
