I'm looking to create a comprehensive list of all microgrid conferences happening this year in the U.S. This is what I have so far:
NARUC Winter Policy Summit (Washington, DC | Feb. 23-26)
RE+ Microgrids (New Orleans, LA | Mar. 18-20)
Distributech (Dallas, TX | Mar. 24-27)
EGSA Spring Conference (Charlotte, NC | Apr. 7-9)
Please post any one you know about in this thread! I can't keep up...
No- But I’ve been to that conference in other locations. They tend to be small, but I found that nice as it made networking easier. RE+ is too big now, and Intersolar is so-so. I think these Microgrid Knowledge conferences might be the best ones now
And a good time to attend given Mexico's newly elected femal, climate scientist President! My fingers are crossed that she makes solar a priority in her administration.
People should listen to the Energy Show's podcast today with two veteran residential solar execs - Barry Cinnamon and Scott Sullivan. One of the things that I love about Barry's podcasts is that they're actually fun to listen to. He does a good job mixing in humor to his podcasts.
