Energy Evolution Summit Sponsors Unite for Grid Resilience

Good insights from my Escalent colleague Chris Montaglione on the state of the global energy industry and how insights can play a role in meeting the moment. https://lnkd.in/euemhE3W

It was a true honor to participate in the Battery Energy Storage Summit, expertly organized by ECV International, and to exchange insights with so many brilliant industry experts. Here are my top three takeaways from the discussions: 1️⃣ Grid-Forming (GFM) Technology is Urgent: With wind and solar now accounting for over 50% of the EU's power generation, adopting GFM technology is no longer optional—it is essential to ensure power system stability. 2️⃣ Regulatory Momentum is Growing: Eight countries have already published GFM requirements, and we expect even more nations to roll out their own standards throughout 2026. 3️⃣ Inertia Markets are the Future: Great Britain and Germany have successfully launched inertia-related markets, and the Netherlands is well on its way. More countries need to take similar action, as establishing these markets is the most economic way to add much-needed inertia to our power systems. A huge thank you to ECV International for a thoughtfully designed agenda. Allocating 30 minutes to each topic allowed for deep dives into the subject matter and highly engaging Q&A sessions. Finally, thank you to all the speakers—every presentation was incredibly valuable, and I learned a great deal from you all.

💡 "Establishing inertia markets is the most economic way to add much-needed inertia to our power systems." – Dr. Raven Liu, Huawei Digital Power, at the Europe Battery Energy Storage Summit 2026 Thank you, Raven Liu, Ph.D., for your invaluable contribution to the summit, and thank you to Huawei Digital Power for being such an important voice in Europe's energy storage conversation. We're proud to have had you on our stage!⚡

MPP is collaborating with Reuters Events on Global Energy Forum 2026, New York. Delivering a resilient, low-emissions energy system will require deeper coordination between sectors, particularly as demand from industry, electrification and digital infrastructure accelerates. The forum provides a focused environment for leaders to engage on these challenges, with an emphasis on practical pathways, shared priorities and partnerships that can support delivery at scale.

Operation Gigawatt is focused on building the next era of American energy dominance — expanding generation, strengthening transmission, and delivering abundant, reliable power at scale. We’re glad to welcome Dick Garlish, President of Rocky Mountain Power, to the summit on May 22. More here: https://lnkd.in/gn7s9UMC

It’s #EarthDay 2026 🌍 Earth Day is a reminder of the role we all play in building a more sustainable future especially in how we power the infrastructure behind connectivity. At Vantage Towers, we are committed to 100% renewable grid electricity for our power consumption. More importantly, our sites are increasingly becoming part of the solution integrating renewable energy and smarter energy systems to support the next generation of telecom networks.

Thank you to the Global Energy Institute for hosting an important conversation on America’s energy future. EQT CEO Toby Rice discussed why affordable, reliable U.S. natural gas is essential to supporting economic growth, energy security and everyday life.

America’s electricity demand is accelerating.   In a state like Texas, preparing the grid for the AI era is no longer optional. It is a prerequisite for continued growth. That is why DNV is proud to partner with Zpryme on ETS and an ongoing series examining the challenges and choices facing utility leaders today. Explore the series and perspectives from energy transition leaders across North America here: https://lnkd.in/dShBQXPc At DNV, we work alongside utilities to turn pressure into progress. That includes speeding up the deployment of distributed energy resources, supporting efficient delivery of utility-scale renewables, and applying AI-enabled tools to clear interconnection backlogs so the most critical projects move forward sooner   We also see a clear opportunity to rethink energy efficiency programs to help cut waste, improve affordability, and reduce stress on the grid while keeping power reliable for millions of customers.

📣 We’re at the Energy Live News Consultancy Conference Earlier today, EDF’s David Edmonds joined the “Energy Market Trends for 2026 and onwards” session, sharing insights on the key forces shaping the UK energy market. He explored the growing impact of non-energy costs on businesses and how volatility is increasingly influencing business decision-making. It’s been a great day of discussion, with strong engagement on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future energy landscape. #ELCC2026
