Utility Innovation Summit by The Grove

​Utility Innovation Summit presented by The Grove

​Utilities are under more pressure to modernize than ever.

​They're also some of the hardest companies to sell new technology into.

​This summit is about exactly that.

​Who's in the room: Utility operators, gridtech founders, companies selling into utilities, and the ecosystem players helping bring the grid into the future.

​What to expect:

​A morning of real conversation between networking, panels, and interviews.

​Panel: Deploying Tech in Utilities: What Works David Quier (VP & COO, PPL Electric Utilities) and Nneile Nkholise (Co-founder & CEO, THOLA Energy) break down what it takes to get innovative technology deployed at utilities. We cover wins, failures, and the lessons that apply right now. Moderated by the legendary Tempest Carter from the Philadelphia Department of Commerce.

​Live Interview: Innovation in the Queue Craig Glazer (VP Federal Government Policy, PJM Interconnection) sits down for an unfiltered conversation about policy, markets, and what's ahead for the largest grid operator in the country. PJM serves 65 million people across 13 states.

​Plus plenty of time to connect: networking bookends the morning with dedicated time before, between, and after sessions.
