ABOUT THE SUMMIT

California’s recent rolling blackouts point out the unprecedented challenges of maintaining reliability while procuring enormous amounts of storage, solar and other renewables to transform its energy industry.

Even as CCAs expand their reach in the retail market, new procurement and planning processes are certain to impact both in-state and out-of-state suppliers in the wholesale market.

At the same time zero-emission vehicle and building electrification programs are rapidly expanding, opening up new opportunities to deploy infrastructure while driving expectations for demand growth. And to meet SB100 renewable energy goals, gigawatts of renewables and storage must be procured.

But in the always complex and sometimes confusing California market, only those with the most up-to-date information on the policy, rule and market changes can effectively assess emerging opportunities and profit.

WHY ATTEND?

The 8th Annual California Energy Summit 2020 will bring together California’s top regulatory officials, utility and public power leaders, CCAs, and developers to discuss:

  • What is needed to deal with recent reliability issues
  • How the IRP Preferred System Plan is being translated into procurement plans by IOUs, CCAs, and public power
  • New opportunities for microgrids, utility-scale standalone storage and hybrid projects
  • Regional market development to support renewables integration—the latest updates on EDAM and the role of out-of-state resources
  • How California’s ambitious decarbonization goals are being converted into programs to incentivize the roll-out of rooftop and socially equitable community solar
  • Opportunities in transportation electrification, and its impacts on the grid and future electricity demand
  • How to meet SB100 goals—what is needed from long duration storage, natural gas and other technologies
