October 28 - 29, 2025  |  Salt Lake Marriott Downtown at City Creek  |  Salt Lake City, UT

Join Top Regional Energy Leaders for the Latest Insights into Expanding Opportunities in the Mountain West's Renewables Market

Clean and renewable energy opportunities in the Mountain West continue to grow. An estimated 29 GW of power is currently underway from numerous projects in development. In just the past year, approximately $70 billion in clean energy investments flowed into six states across the region. Transmission projects alone are projected to generate $690 million in economic activity over the next year.

Major drivers of this momentum are the collaborative effort to improve grid coordination, resilience, and renewable integration across the western U.S. through SPP Markets+, West-Wide Governance Pathways Initiative, and CAISO’s EDAM. These initiatives aim to unlock grid efficiencies, reduce curtailment, and enable better transmission planning—critical factors as the Mountain West works to meet skyrocketing electricity demand driven by the region’s data center boom.

But these opportunities do not come without challenges, among them:

  • The Regional energy market organization efforts are coming to a head. While they promise to streamline grid inefficiencies, participants must navigate complex issues around governance, seams, power supply and demand shifts, regional political hurdles, transmission needs, and ongoing reliability concerns.
  • Regional policymakers, developers, utilities, and capital providers must grapple with unprecedented electrical load growth and determine how to meet demand across vast, diverse service territories.
  • Cooling investment and development activity in light of the OBBBA passage and its tax credit changes, federal funding reductions, shifting regulations, and looming tariffs are contributing to pivoting business strategies as companies prepare for incentive cliffs.

Only those equipped with the latest insights into how these challenges affect the Mountain West will be positioned to overcome obstacles, manage risk, and seize opportunities in this evolving landscape.

Infocast’s Mountain West Renewables Summit is designed to bring together top regional, state, and national policymakers alongside executives from utilities, local governments, LSEs, renewable developers, and the finance community. This unique event offers a one-of-a-kind venue to network and share insights into the current state—and the future—of the Mountain West energy markets.

The Summit’s deep focus on real-world needs, emerging initiatives, and the changing economic and political landscape makes this a can’t-miss event for those looking to lead in renewable energy development and deployment across the Mountain West.
