The renewable transition is entering its “delivery” era: interconnection queues, procurement timelines, and siting constraints are shaping outcomes as much as ambition. This event spotlights what it takes to get projects built while protecting customers and maintaining reliability. You’ll hear concrete perspectives on rate design, storage policy, emerging resources, and forecasting the loads and grid needs that are changing faster than anyone predicted.
