This year, RE+ is co-locating with RE+ Microgrids! Texas is at a critical moment in its energy evolution. Renewables now provide more than one-third of Texas’ electricity, playing a key role in maintaining reliability during peak demand periods. As the state faces rapid load growth, extreme weather events, and infrastructure constraints, resilient power solutions have never been more important. That’s where microgrids come in.
Microgrids directly address many of the vulnerabilities facing the Texas grid by integrating renewables and storage to enhance resilience, reliability, and flexibility. With the strong overlap between Texas clean energy professionals and those focused on microgrid solutions, co-locating these events reflects the realities of today’s Texas energy market and delivers more value for attendees looking to solve problems and scale solutions quickly.
What this means for RE+ Texas attendees:
- A combined expo hall with exhibitors, product demos, networking, and show floor theater sessions relevant to both audiences
- A dedicated full conference education program for each event, with the option to upgrade your pass to access both conferences’ education sessions
- Expanded networking, giving you more opportunities to meet and strengthen business connections
- A diverse slate of workshops available to purchase as an add-on to your pass, giving you opportunities for in-depth learning about the latest in microgrid advancements and applications
