CleanTX and SPEER are partnering for an Earth Week Workshop & Happy Hour focused on Community-First Grid Expansion.
As data centers and hyper-scalers drive unparalleled electricity demand in Texas, utilities face mounting pressure to connect new load faster than traditional grid infrastructure can be planned and built. The need for innovative, near-term solutions is urgent. Our two panel sessions will explore how Texas can meet large load demand by combining speed-to-market solutions with on-site generation as a bridge and long-term market resource. Panelists will discuss hybrid approaches that integrate natural gas, BESS, and renewables to deliver power to sites faster while shifting the paradigm from grid defection to grid services that support ERCOT reliability and system efficiency.
We’ll also address ways to strategically reduce residential energy use, shift load, and invest in energy efficiency, demand response, and distributed energy resources to unlock grid capacity, accelerate data center interconnections, and deliver shared benefits for utilities, communities, and consumers through collaborative, community-focused energy strategies. We will provide ICC CEU's for workshop sessions.
