A look at the goals, progress, and impact of CPS Energy's FlexPower Bundle and what this means for San Antonio.

Renewables are reshaping relationships between providers and customers more rapidly than ever before. Yet the COVID-19 pandemic and various inclement weather events have proven that not everyone has access to the benefits. Providers have the opportunity to address equity issues in communities through unique models and programs. This panel will explore what role providers play in making sure solar is equitable for all.

Innovation is often thought of as the development and debut of a technology or strategy that has never been seen by anyone before, but innovation can come from the incorporation of existing products and principles to an organization to do things in a way that has never been done at that company. This panel will cover the different ways that innovation can manifest in the industry and how innovative culture and leadership can change an organization, an industry, and even the world.

The energy transition won't be complete without all communities being able to participate. But upfront costs for clean energy solutions are barriers even for middle class populations. Regionally, "green banks" have been devising innovative funding solutions that grant access to clean energy for several years. Now, there is a push for a National Climate Bank. This panel will discuss:

• How a National Climate Bank would expand access to capital and accelerate the transition while creating jobs
• Creative solutions green banks are implementing
• How stakeholders can work together to provide clean energy opportunities to individuals and communities

How CPS Energy is helping and enabling energy savvy customers break new ground in solar adoption

As battery and long duration solutions become more viable, how do we plan for adding storage to capacity markets? How do we define the market incentives, and what are the system constraints?

Earlier this year, Sacramento Municipal Utility District announced their 2030 Clean Energy Vision, a path to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from their electric generation by 2030. Hear from newly appointed Chief Zero Carbon Officer, Lora Anguay, about why SMUD set this ambitious goal, how they plan to achieve it, and what it means for customers.

Renewables are front and center in upcoming infrastructure plans that double down on green energy and economic development. But the rise of new models can prove challenging for energy providers to fully harness these opportunities. What role does regulation play in shaping communities of the future and how does it impact the solar and storage industries specifically?

Decarbonizing transportation not only makes for cleaner air, but offers new opportunities for battery storage and backup power for the grid. This fireside chat will discuss how utilities and other organizations can plan for fleet electrification, grid challenges in electrifying fleets, and the importance of stakeholder partnerships.
