The electric grid is at an inflection point. AI-driven load growth, aging infrastructure, and surging electricity demand are pushing a century-old system in ways it was never designed for — sparking urgent debates about how to keep the lights on, who gets to shape the solution, and whether we're asking the right questions in the first place.Join CleanStart for an evening focused on the future of the grid, featuring perspectives on the technologies, policies, and strategies driving — and disrupting — the energy transition. Located at Kora Power's office.
This meetup will bring together founders, utilities, researchers, investors, and public-sector partners for an open, practical conversation about what it will actually take to modernize the grid — and who gets to decide.
Join a Discussion Around:
The "utilization vs. expansion" debate — should we build new capacity or get more out of what we already have?
Grid coordination and planning at scale — why the biggest constraint may not be hardware
The role of data centers, AI, and big tech in shaping grid infrastructure
Distributed energy resources, virtual power plants, and demand flexibility
Business models, policy, and what cleantech entrepreneurs need to know right now
Includes: Food, Drinks, and Plenty of Time for Conversation.
CleanStart Events are supported by SMUD, BlueTech Valley, and Witan Law.
