About the session

What’s covered

This session explores how corporations can turn grid-friendly strategies into a competitive advantage by leveraging flexibility, DERs, and load optimization to boost reliability and resilience.

As grid constraints grow and climate-driven disruptions intensify, corporate energy buyers are increasingly positioned to play a critical role in keeping the grid online. Reliability is now a competitive advantage, influencing operational continuity and cost stability. This session will explore how corporations can unlock the value of demand flexibility, integrate distributed energy resources (DERs), and optimize energy-hungry facilities like data centers to reduce peak strain and support grid stability. By bringing together utilities, corporate buyers, developers, and innovative energy retailers, the conversation will uncover actionable strategies for making new and existing loads more grid-friendly—while unlocking financial and operational benefits.
