Midwest Renewables & Energy Storage Forum

It is projected that the share of renewables on the energy grid will grow from 15% in 2019 to over 76% by 2028. Driving these gains will be important advances in regulation, policy and enabling business models for solar, wind and energy storage, both utility-scale and behind the meter. As the Midwest moves away from coal to become a key adopter of renewable energy, important opportunities and challenges face energy providers, utilities and customers. These issues concern required regulatory and financing developments, enhancements to the transmission and distribution network, sustainable business models for renewables-centric energy systems, cost and trends in enabling technologies, and more.
