Future Currence
Full agenda on the event website: future.currence.ai
Imagine the power system in 2030 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, Sabanci Climate Technologies, Edison International and AWS, 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.
