About this Event

Ascend Summit 2025

The pace of structural change in the power sector has accelerated—driven by surging load growth, data center demand, market volatility, and the need for clean, reliable, and cost-effective electricity. The Ascend Summit 2025 convenes over 350+ industry leaders to explore how to create long-term value and resilience in a rapidly evolving energy development and procurement landscape.

  • Strategies for aligning data center growth with grid reliability and clean energy goals
  • Innovations in power procurement—balancing cost, carbon, and flexibility
  • Impacts of policy, load growth, and interconnection constraints on project value
  • Revenue insurance and capital-efficient financing for merchant storage
  • Gary would like this updated to feel less sales-ey.
