Building on Success
Sheri Givens is President and CEO of Smart Electric Power Alliance.
It might not have been bright and sunny in San Diego this April, but the ideas certainly were. At SEPA’s second annual Energy Evolution Summit, more than one hundred utility leaders, policymakers, innovators, and consumer advocates came together to do what they do best: ask the tough questions and roll up their sleeves to find real answers.
Over two energizing days, our community tackled today’s toughest challenges and explored tomorrow’s greatest opportunities. We skipped the monologues and leaned into the dialogue, because navigating the clean energy transition isn’t about soundbites. It’s about solutions.
Each plenary session set the tone for the practical, forward-looking conversations that followed in workshops and breakout groups. We began with a sharp focus on distribution system resilience.
