Microgrids & DERS Summit West
The 2019 Summit is a senior level educational 'Town Hall' forum. It will focus on the technical capabilities and innovations that are allowing for advanced microgrid projects and increased penetration of renewables and DERS into the grid.
Equally, the Summit will also serve as a conduit for developing the strategic business models and use cases while discussing the current regulatory and market landscape.
The objective of the Summit is to serve as a catalyst for collaboration and the interchange of knowledge among a cross sector of the energy stakeholder community towards the topic of “Building a Resilient, Sustainable and Efficient Energy Future” and the integration of DERS and microgrids.
The Summit consists of two days of structured plenary and panel sessions.
