North American Power & Renewables Forum 2027

Wood Mackenzie's North American Power & Renewables Forum convenes in Denver, Colorado on April 28-29, 2027. It is the expanded successor to the Solar & Energy Storage Summit, which ran for nineteen editions through 2026; the broader remit covers North American and global power markets alongside solar and storage. The forum draws 450-plus senior executives from across the power value chain: utility-scale solar and storage developers, battery storage companies, investor-owned utilities, independent power producers, commercial and industrial offtakers, state regulatory commissions, and federal government officials. Keynotes and breakout tracks address energy market evolution, post-tax-credit financing models, capitalizing on load growth, supply-chain resilience amid tariff pressures, and energy storage business models spanning standalone, hybrid, and long-duration assets. A grid infrastructure track examines distributed energy resource optimization, virtual power plant strategies, digital grid-balancing technologies, and transmission investment needs. Sessions blend strategic insight with operational best practice, making it a concentrated venue for founders selling into utilities, IPPs, and large offtakers.
