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 wider adoption of microgrids for agriculture easier.
The discussion is moderated by AJ Perkins, President of Instant ON.
Featured speakers include:
Brian Brogan, Sales Director, GreenStuxure
John Larrea,
Director Government Affairs, California League of Food Producers
Rob Fox, Vice President of Business Development, Endurant Energy
Ari Kashani, CEO-Founder, Bluehouse Greenhouse
Brian Curtis, CEO, Concentric Power
Dennis Donohue, Director, Western Growers Center for Innovation & Technology
