About the Energy Evolution Summit
Energy Evolution Summit is the only forum where the full energy ecosystem comes together to share the ideas that will shape policy and secure the future of the power sector.
At this critical moment, as AI and electrification drive unprecedented grid demand—projected to surge 25% by the end of the decade—the answers for a clean, affordable, and resilient future start with the executive-level, peer-to-peer problem-solving that only happens here.
This May, steps from the White House in Washington D.C., executives and experts will participate in three days of engaging discussion and interactive discovery, exploring our defining and interconnected challenges:
- Grid. Making our grid resilient in the face of extreme weather and wildfires, coupled with new technologies.
- Growth. Managing the dawn of data centers’ unprecedented demand needs alongside the drive toward electrification.
- Globe. Sharing lessons learned by leaders who have successfully approached these challenges around the globe.
The Summit is built for connection, hosting the conversations that convert regional insights and international wins into industry-wide solutions. It is the one time each year when utility executives, regulators, consumer advocates, and tech innovators gather in the same space to go on the record with bold ideas and spark the light bulb moments that move us forward.
During the summit, we will also host the Power Player Awards, honoring the individuals and organizations driving the industry forward. This year’s awards specifically recognize leadership in four key areas: Grid, Growth, Globe, and the Excellence in Leadership award.
