Future Currence 2026
Imagine the power system five years from now. What does it look like? How is it shaped for, and by, AI? How does it become more affordable and resilient?
Kick off New York Climate Week 2026 with Currence (formerly Sightline Climate). This year, our flagship NYCW event, in partnership with HSBC and Sabanci Climate Technologies, will bring the leading utilities, hyperscalers, developers, financiers, and innovators into one room to build a vision for how the AI buildout can create a better grid future.
Attendees split across a series of hands-on workshops, each tackling a different challenge shaping the load growth era — from unlocking new supply to load flexibility, grid innovation, and financing the buildout. The summit is solutions-first, and everything we build will feed into a grid futures playbook for attendees and the wider Currence community.
How the day works:
Morning: how demand will shape the future grid. The headline is a live podcast recording with Jigar Shah interviewing a utility CEO.
Afternoon: the solutions. The technologies and business models that can unlock capacity and meet the needs of the future grid. Featuring small-group breakouts to pressure-test ideas.
Spots are limited, so let us know. Hope to see you there!
