Electricity and energy systems will define the next few decades as profoundly as human activity defined the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene asked what humans have done to the planet. The Electrocene asks something harder: what will we do next? In this era, energy isn't just infrastructure - it's the organizing principle of civilization.

​In our current epoch, we are introduced to an era in which our energy systems, economy, and society are transforming one another. How we choose to build, power, and utilize these systems is up to us.

​BERC’s 19th Annual Energy Summit will bring together investors, builders, policy leaders, and academia to explore the many facets and forces defining this era of electricity: from the urgency of firming our power system, to meeting & managing exploding demand, all while serving the ever-pressing needs for affordability, reliability, and equity.

Early Bird pricing available until March 31st!
