Capitalize on the Untapped Opportunities for Clean Energy, Firming Power, Transmission & More as MISO Prepares for Unprecedented Load Growth

The Midcontinent region is transforming: Rising load growth, transmission buildout, interconnection reforms, renewables additions, reliability and affordability concerns, planned retirements reversed, policy changes, MISO’s new black box software, and a $32 billion transmission buildout, the largest grid expansion in U.S. history, are happening all at once, creating massive opportunities and a massive need to shift plans and expectations.

Amongst all of these changes, how does the MISO region reach the goal of adding 17 GW of new resources annually for the next 20 years while addressing affordability concerns and meeting the needs of large load customers?

There is a pressing need for stakeholders to convene and discuss the future of asset development and operations in the MISO grid, as the region’s peak load forecast is expected to hit ~140 GW by 2030. From renewables and gas generation to energy storage and nuclear, utility-scale projects to DERs, MISO needs it all, but navigating this rapidly evolving landscape requires more than just ambition. Success demands a laser-focused strategy to address critical challenges.

Attend Midcontinent Clean Energy Summit to cement your place in the unparalleled development and investment opportunities in MISO’s evolving energy landscape. This strategic event goes beyond regulatory settings, attracting broad participation from a wide variety of stakeholders looking to understand MISO from a development-forward perspective. Join an unmatched faculty of developers, policymakers, regulators, LSEs, financiers, tax equity experts, and other industry leaders as they provide inside intelligence on the dynamics shaping transmission and interconnection, utility-scale wind and solar, firm resources, storage, community solar, DERs, and the policy to get us there in one of the most capital-intensive U.S. power markets.
