November 4 - 6, 2026  |  Sheraton Charlotte Hotel  |  Charlotte, NC

Meet the Policy Makers, Utilities and Renewable Players Working to Seize the Opportunities and Meet the Challenges of Burgeoning Southeastern Load Growth  

An unprecedented expansion of energy demand continues across the Southeast, driven by new data centers and manufacturing facilities. Southeastern states and major utilities are dramatically — and quickly — ramping up their power generation procurements.  And much of this demand comes from customers demanding clean energy.  
 
However, while this is a huge opportunity for the renewable energy industry, challenges multiply. How will affordability and reliability concerns affect public service commission and state policies? How will renewables be affected by plans to rapidly add gas-fired capacity?  How can increasing local opposition to siting and permitting renewable projects be overcome? What strategies can developers adopt to grow in a post-ITC world? What are the potential impacts of the November election on renewable energy and how will developer strategies be affected? 
 
Infocast’s 11th annual Southeast Renewable Energy Summit, is the ONLY conference covering this burgeoning market that gets “everyone in the room” from across the entire region.  Featuring key state policymakers, critical decision-makers, leading utility executives, financiers and renewable energy players, the event does a critical survey of the most dynamic states in the region — including North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi — to provide definitive updates on the issues you will need to understand to seize the very best opportunities.  

Join 500 of the Southeast’s most important renewable industry executives at this profoundly informative event.  It will delve deeply into the following questions: 

  • How will unprecedented increases in demand be translated to procurements and investments?
  • How do utilities across the region plan to balance their decarbonization commitments with reliability concerns?
  • Where and how and by whom will standalone and co-located storage be deployed to boost reliability and resilience?
  • What are the most effective methods to deal with local opposition to siting and permitting?
