Description

Across the country, stakeholders are seeking ways to meet the load growth challenge head-on and welcome the opportunity for more clean energy generation. Does this additional demand for energy create new risks? If so, what are the financing implications? During this session, panelists will discuss increasing electricity use, new challenges in the age of growing AI and data centers, the opportunities solar and storage developers have amidst increasing demand, and how utilities are making decisions in order to tackle load growth challenges.
