Balancing Act: Delivering Resiliency and Decarbonization with Integrated Resources

As U.S. power demand accelerates at an unprecedented pace, the conversation around our energy mix is fundamentally shifting. The old paradigm that marginalized renewables as “alternative energy” is obsolete. Now, the industry is moving beyond a simple competition between resources and toward a more integrated strategy where natural gas and renewables are no longer just competitors, but partners.

This new reality presents a “1+1=3” opportunity to build a more resilient and decarbonized grid. But how can developers, operators, and investors talk more comprehensively about these paired solutions? This free online forum brings together industry experts to explore the technical, policy, and market challenges of this new landscape. Join us for a discussion on what a realistic, resilient, and decarbonized grid looks like — with a focus on the following topics:

• Creative Solutions for Large Loads: What opportunities exist for gas and renewables to collaboratively manage the massive energy needs of data centers and other new sources of demand?


• Developer Recommendations: What do developers wish markets, ISOs, policymakers, and lenders understood to help them meet exponential demand growth?


• Navigating Market Dynamics: How has "power coupling" in different markets and recent FERC orders affected ISO strategies for resource integration and planning?


• Bridging Industry Gaps: Where are the key disconnects between ISOs, utilities, and developers, and how can we foster better information sharing and collaboration?
