Exclusively for Utilities & Power Producers
The Grid Is
Under Pressure.
Be Ready.
Demand is surging. Infrastructure decisions can't wait. Experience POWER brings utility leaders, engineers, and operators together at the exact moment those decisions matter most.
The Moment Utilities Are Facing
Unprecedented
Load Growth.
Now.
Electrification, AI data centers, and industrial expansion are driving electricity demand at a scale utilities haven't planned for in decades. Generation, transmission, and grid modernization are no longer future-state discussions — they are immediate execution priorities.
Built for Utility Professionals
Six Reasons Utilities
Can't Miss This
Grid Reliability at the Breaking Point
Hear directly from grid operators, RTOs, and regulators on how they're managing load growth, extreme weather, and the accelerating retirement of legacy baseload — and what utilities must do to keep the lights on.
Generation Strategy for a New Era
Gas, nuclear, storage, renewables — utilities face decisions that will define their generation mix for decades. Sessions are built for the people making those calls now, with real-world case studies and actionable frameworks.
Policy Where It's Made — Plus an Exclusive Facility Tour
D.C. puts you next to the regulators shaping the grid — and inside real infrastructure. Permitting reform, interconnection, and reliability standards are being rewritten in real time. And thanks to Mitsubishi Power, registered attendees can join an exclusive facility tour for a behind-the-scenes look at power generation in the D.C. region. Space is limited.
AI & Digital Operations — Reality Check
Hear from utilities already deploying AI-driven predictive maintenance, digital twin platforms, and automated grid management — cutting through hype to show what's actually delivering results in the field today.
Workforce Development & Talent
The industry is facing a generational transition in its workforce. Connect with peers on recruitment, retention, training, and building the next generation of plant operators and power engineers at scale.
100 Years of POWER Authority
Experience POWER is created by POWER Magazine — the industry's editorial authority since 1882. The program is curated by award-winning journalists and engineers, not sales teams. Every session is built to educate, not sell.
Featured Program
PMI Plant Management
Institute Forum
The PMI Plant Management Institute Forum is an exclusive, peer-driven session dedicated to the professionals responsible for keeping power generating assets online, reliable, and competitive. This is not a broad industry panel — it is a focused gathering of plant managers and senior operations leaders from power generation companies.
No additional fee. No sales pitches. Just candid conversations with the people who share your challenges — happening September 28, the opening day of Experience POWER.
- O&M optimization under tightening budgets and growing workloads
- Fleet-level planning as retirements, additions, and repowering accelerate
- Digital tools, predictive analytics, and workforce augmentation in the plant
- Regulatory compliance, emissions management, and environmental permitting
- Benchmarking performance metrics against peer utilities across fuel types
- Managing contractor relationships and supply chain disruption in a tight market
Exclusively for power generation companies. Included with your Experience POWER registration — no additional fee.
Your Peers Will Be There
Utility Roles
That Attend
Experience POWER brings together the full utility leadership team — from the executive suite to the plant floor. These are the conversations that move your organization forward.
Strategic Location
Washington, D.C.
Isn't a Backdrop.
It's the Point.
For utilities, proximity to federal policy is not a perk — it's a strategic advantage. Experience POWER's D.C. location puts you adjacent to the DOE, FERC, and the legislators reshaping the rules of the grid.
Keynote speaker Dr. Dario Gil, Under Secretary for Science at the Department of Energy, will address how AI and the Genesis Mission are rewriting American energy infrastructure — and what it means for utilities planning the next decade.
