IEEE Power and Energy Summit: Achieving a More Reliable and Resilient Energy Future
2025 IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Summit
The inaugural IEEE Power & Energy (PES) Summit on Achieving a More Reliable and Resilient Energy Future will focus on practical experiences by the power and energy industry to achieve a more reliable and resilient electric power grid. The summit will focus on efforts to drive for reliability performance through outage reduction and quicker response. The summit will also include system level thinking to mitigate against high impact low probability or resilience events. Since the summit will be hosted in the west coast a specific topic of reliability and wildfire mitigation will also be covered. The event will include one track technical track (super session format) and not include breakout sessions. The presenters invited are practitioners who will discuss their organizations’ approaches to a more reliable and resilient grid. See the event website for latest schedule and speaker names and topics.
Our Bay Area PES and IAS chapters are providing this event notice to publicize it to our Bay Area members. This Summit is sponsored by PG&E and the Power & Energy Society. Our chapter will attend the Summit, and we are providing the Registration link to the PES Summit site, which also names the 20+ speakers and panelists. There are discounts for IEEE and PES members, so we want to point out that Mid-Year PES memberships (for IEEE members) are half off:
PES membership for IEEE members: $15.00 Catalog
IAS membership for IEEE members: $5.00 Catalog
