Panel: Microgrids for Agriculture/Food Industry
California produces over 1/3 of US vegetables and 2/3 of its fruits and nuts. So anything that gets in the way of its ability to grow, harvest, produce and distribute food creates repercussions far beyond its borders — making reliable energy paramount for agriculture. This panel offers examples of successful microgrids used in the food industry and looks at how to make it easier for agriculture to adopt them more widely.

Panel: Microgrids for Government, Communities and CCAs
When climate disasters strike, the public counts on a quick response from government. But power outages undercut vital government services, such as water treatment, public safety, and mass transit. That is why so many communities, cities and even the military are turning to microgrids. What can be done to speed the transition?

Reception with Exhibitors
Exhibitor Hall
More and more Californians want the electric reliability that microgrids offer. But it’s complex for businesses, institutions and communities to develop, install and operate microgrids on their own. Microgrid California, a one-day educational forum, is designed to guide them on their journey with the help of some the world’s top microgrid experts.
The agenda will feature problem-solving sessions that focus on the energy needs of some of California’s top industries, along with communities, government and community choice aggregations.
