Special episode: The future of energy from RE+

This special episode is brought to you by RE+—North America’s largest gathering of clean energy professionals, developed by the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).

On Monday, Sept. 8, 2025, I gave the opening keynote at RE+ in Las Vegas about where the energy transition is headed—followed by a panel with two leaders building it at scale:

Ray Henger, CEO of Copia Power (developing gigawatts of renewables and data-center infrastructure)
Pedro Pizarro, President & CEO of Edison International (parent of Southern California Edison)

What you’ll hear:

Our full panel discussion on the future of the grid, the challenges of accomplishing skyrocketing demand and what that means for net zero goals
Data centers, meet reality: AI-driven load growth and how to keep reliability while adding massive new demand.
Utility POV: Transmission, interconnection queues, permitting, wildfire risk, and keeping customers whole.
Developers at scale: Financing in a higher-rate world, siting tradeoffs, and building projects communities actually want.

How this fits:

This special drops in the middle of our Smart Grid mini-series:

Episode 101: XL Batteries on long-duration, pH-neutral organic flow batteries for utility storage.
Episode 102 (airs Sept. 11): Wärtsilä on synthetic inertia and batteries as an “airbag” for the grid.
Episode 103 (airs next Thursday): Enzinc on zinc-based batteries that are safer, recyclable, and ready for mobility and stationary use.
