What to look forward to
Energy leaders will explore how rising demand from AI, manufacturing, housing, and transport is reshaping the grid and creating new market opportunities. Panelists include Strobe Power co-founder and CEO Keeley Erhardt, an MIT-trained computer scientist with a PhD, and Con Edison distribution planning director Britt Reichborn-Kjennerud, who holds a Columbia PhD in astrophysics; Dan Hunter of Nyquis will moderate.
Inside the event
Power is becoming the scarce input for everything: AI, manufacturing, housing, transport. The grid was never built for that demand curve, and the gap between what’s needed and what can be delivered is turning into a market of its own.
Join us at SPC NYC for a conversation on what's next on the energy frontier. Panelists include
Keeley Erhardt, Strobe Power. Keeley Erhardt is co-founder and CEO of Strobe Power, which turns on-site generation and storage at commercial buildings into dispatchable power plants. Strobe connects these assets to wholesale electricity markets, helping meet growing power demand while lowering energy costs for building owners. Keeley holds three degrees in computer science from MIT, including a PhD.
Britt Reichborn-Kjennerud is Director of Con Edison’s Distribution Planning department where she leads distributed energy resource (DER) integration with the grid including customer demand management programs, distributed generation interconnection support, and DER strategy. Previously in her work at Con Edison she led the development and implementation of the company’s e-mobility programs as Director of E-Mobility, and non- wires program strategy for deploying energy storage and other DERs to meet grid needs.
She also worked in the Research & Development department where she designed and managed projects to introduce new technologies into the company infrastructure and operations. Prior to joining Con Edison in 2014 Britt completed her PhD and a research fellowship in astrophysics at Columbia University.
Moderated by Dan Hunter, Nyquis
