​Panelists:

David Berry; CEO, Cloverleaf Infrastructure

​How can we meet surging energy demand from AI / data center growth, plus the strains it will place on our grid, while reducing emissions? How can we balance reliability, competitiveness, climate imperatives, and speed? How can we modernize our grid, at speed and scale?

​And, critically - what are all the headlines on this topic getting wrong?

Join 4 leading practitioners in the space for a look behind the curtain on what's really happening to meet this load-growth moment.

The event will be in the main stairway amphitheater at the Ion. Thank you to Houston Energy + Climate Startup Week for putting together an excellent schedule; we're glad to be part of it.
