Description

Against a backdrop of an increasingly complex global energy landscape and the growing threat of climate change, the ways in which we produce and consume energy continue to evolve. Clean-energy solutions are being embraced more than ever, while at the same time people are consuming more energy due to digitalization, AI computing, and the EV transition. This shift, coupled with the increase of extreme weather, has stressed the existing grid and resulted in less energy stability for essential businesses like hospitals, water treatment facilities, data centers, and government operations. Learn how backup energy systems could counter uncertainty and potential calamity. Attendees should stay after the panel all attendees are entered into a raffle to win a $25 credit for the Fast Company Merchandise Store, but must be present to win. Ten people will win!
