Solar & Energy Storage Summit 2026

Wood Mackenzie’s 19th annual Solar & Energy Storage Summit returns to Denver from April 29-30 2026, bringing together over 450 senior leaders from US solar and storage developers, utilities, IPPs, C&I offtakers, and state and federal government.

Topic areas for 2026 include:

• The evolving energy mix: Evaluating intermittent renewables alongside firm generation such as gas, nuclear, geothermal and coal
• Life after tax credits: Do renewables retain a competitive advantage despite less Federal support?
• How can utilities and developers make the most of the load growth boom?
• Navigating ongoing supply-chain challenges from tariffs to foreign entities of concern
• Will permitting and interconnection delays put the brakes on renewables development?
• How is the development landscape changing? M&A activity and new investment strategies
• Energy storage business models – how to stack value on standalone, hybrid, and long duration storage assets
• Showcasing state and utility-led policies and programs to support solar and storage development
• Getting creative to meet energy demand: from behind the meter solutions to VPPs

The conference will feature keynote sessions focused on the biggest challenges and opportunities facing the solar and storage industries in the US before splitting into separate streams for more in-depth discussions on specialised solar and storage topics. For 2026 a new agenda stream will focus on distributed-scale and energy demand, attracting attendees from community and C&I developers and major commercial buyers such as data centers and manufacturers.
