This event will convene leading New York policymakers, regulators, utilities, developers, power producers, and financiers to share timely insights on the policies, plans, opportunities, and challenges that will shape the states energy landscape in 2026 and beyond. Sessions will address topics such as resource valuation changes, domestic manufacturing and labor requirements, evolving roles for natural gas and nuclear power, and grid planning impacts from power intensive facilities, while offering a premier networking opportunity with more than 400 energy sector leaders from across New York.

The 2026 Climate Solutions Summit will ignite a regional conversation around energy and power—from the physics that energize our world to the social systems that determine how we live, work, and thrive. Together, we will focus on: (1) how humans produce, distribute, and use energy, broadly defined, (2) the ethical and practical ramifications of our energy choices, and (3) the jobs and workforce development opportunities that will allow us to responsibly meet our energy needs. Over two days of conversations, workshops, and panel discussions, we’ll connect technical knowledge with human experience, bridging science, community, and creativity to shape a just, regenerative, and empowered future for the Genesee-Finger Lakes region.

Over the past year, clean energy accounted for more than 90% of all new power connected to the American grid. ACP’s CLEANPOWER event will chart the country’s energy future with top companies, experts, policymakers, and leaders across all types of energy. This conference is packed with cutting-edge discussions about wind, solar, storage, and transmission; dealmaking; networking; and fun. CLEANPOWER 2026 will be at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX.

The State of the Science on Offshore Energy, Wildlife, and Fisheries is a national convening hosted by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority on behalf of the Offshore Wind Environmental Technical Working Group and the Fisheries Technical Working Group. It will be bringing together researchers, Tribal representatives, regulators, industry, and conservation organizations to advance understanding of how offshore energy development intersects with marine wildlife and fisheries. Held at Stony Brook University on Long Island, the three-day conference focuses on building on a strong foundation by deepening scientific knowledge and identifying collaborative solutions that support responsible offshore energy development while protecting ecosystems and fishing communities, guided by a multidisciplinary scientific and organizing leadership committed to transparent, inclusive, and applied science.
