Flex Summit 2026

AI data centers are adding gigawatts of new load at an unprecedented pace, driving urgent demand for capacity. At the same time, the virtual power plant market is maturing — business models are expanding beyond traditional bring your own device programs, and the cost curve of batteries is driving renewed momentum in aggregating customer-sited resources. Meanwhile, major externalities, such as extreme weather events and the growing affordability crisis, are sharpening the flexibility imperative.

Latitude Media’s Flex Summit 2026 will bring together dozens of industry experts and senior leaders from across the energy sector, working to scale flexibility as an essential distribution grid resource in planning, markets, technology, and finance.

Advanced Energy United is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of this event. On the second day of the summit, United President and CEO Heather O’Neill will speak on the “Affordability, Rate Relief, and the Politics of Distributed Capacity” panel, discussing the role of distributed energy resources in lowering energy costs and increasing grid reliability.
