  POWERGEN International · Salt Lake City, UT

  Batteries & Energy Storage · Nuclear · Power & Utilities

  POWERGEN 2027 is a power-generation conference for utilities, independent power producers, EPCs, OEMs, engineers, manufacturers, consultants, and service providers. The program addresses load growth, new capacity, reliability, supply-chain and permitting constraints, and the data-center boom. Keynote sessions include “Supply, Demand and the Next Build Cycle: A CEO and COO Conversation,” “Securing the Grid in the Age of AI,” and “When the Grid Needs It Most: Reliability, Readiness and the Performance Gap.” Technical tracks cover gas turbine and combined cycle, data centers, nuclear, resource and capacity planning, markets and load growth, interconnection, project development and delivery, onsite power, digital modernization, supply chain and procurement, energy storage and hybrids, hydropower, cybersecurity, carbon capture, and workforce, safety and compliance. Featured sessions include “A National Pulse Check on the U.S. Gas Turbine Fleet: Performance, Upgrade Potential and Lead-Time Trends,” “Advanced Cybersecurity: Beyond Traditional Firewalls, AI Threats and IT/OT Convergence,” “Advanced Reactors and TRISO Fuel: Project Pele, Production Scale and the Path to Deployment,” “Advancing Post-Combustion Carbon Capture: Pilot Results and Integration Considerations for Honeywell's ASCC Process,” “AI Data Center Load Impacts on Synchronous Generators: EMT Analysis and Voltage Support Technology Comparison,” “Battery Storage Accreditation: Navigating ELCC, UCAP and Capacity Market Value,” and “Connecting Grid Planning Decisions to Control-Room Reality.” Partner programming includes the 44th Electric Utility and Cogeneration Chemistry Workshop, Coal Users Group, POWERGEN University, and Fleet Operations Forum.

  Infocast · New Orleans, LA

  Batteries & Energy Storage · Nuclear · Power & Utilities

  The program brings senior developers, investors, lenders, utilities, energy buyers, and strategic capital providers together across two connected tracks: Projects & Money and NextGen Energy Investment. Core topics include debt, tax equity, private credit, policy, transferability, project economics, investor sentiment, capital allocation, execution, insurance, and bankability. The NextGen track addresses advanced nuclear, geothermal, long-duration energy storage, grid modernization, distributed energy, and AI-driven power solutions. Agenda sessions include “Projects & Money Roundtable: What New Trends Are Dealmakers Seeing?”, “What Macro Forces Are Driving Market Trends?”, “Deploying Capital at Scale: Finding Opportunity in Energy's Next Growth Cycle,” “The Return of Reliability: Financing Firm Power for a New Era of Electricity Demand,” “Tax Equity and Tax Credit Transfer Market Dynamics,” “Financing the Future: The Asset Classes Powering the Next Decade of Energy Growth,” “Project Finance Perspectives: Financing the Power Race and Digital Infrastructure Boom,” “Policy, Permitting & the Real Barriers to Scaling NextGen Energy,” “Private Credit: Risk vs. Reward,” “Lenders' Perspectives on the 2027 Financing Outlook,” and “SMR Economics: Evaluating Regulatory Hurdles, Unit Economics & Bankable Construction Timelines.”

  International Conference on Advances in Materials, Manufacturing & Repair for Power Plants

  ASM International · Tucson, AZ

  Batteries & Energy Storage · Nuclear · Power & Utilities

  The 11th edition of this conference, organized jointly by EPRI and ASM International at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, builds on a legacy dating to EPRI's 1987 inaugural event, having rotated across Europe, the UK, North America, and the Pacific, with the most recent prior edition held in California in 2025. The technical program addresses materials, manufacturing, performance, and repair technologies for steam power systems (HRSGs, boilers, steam turbines), gas turbines, concentrating solar power, geothermal energy, small modular reactors and advanced nuclear technologies, sCO₂ power cycles, advanced ultra-supercritical steam systems, and hydrogen and bulk thermal energy storage. Key technical tracks include advanced manufacturing (additive manufacturing via PBF and DED, powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing, advanced welding and cladding), codes and standards, component-specific challenges (castings, forgings, blades, rotors, valves), damage mechanisms (creep, creep-fatigue interaction, stress relaxation cracking, oxidation, corrosion, wear), high-temperature materials (superalloys, CSEF steels, stainless steels, intermetallics, coatings), performance and life management (failure analysis, modeling, fitness-for-service methodologies), and repair and refurbishment technologies. Monday pre-conference sessions include a Nuclear WRTC TAC Meeting and the 5th EPRI Supply Chain Workshop for Structural Components in Advanced Energy Systems. Friday post-conference sessions, open to EPRI members or by invitation, include Generation Materials Technology Transfer, the Advanced Reactor Materials Advisory Group, and the Nuclear Welding and Repair Technology Center. The conference draws utilities and power producers, OEMs and equipment suppliers, materials manufacturers, advanced manufacturing companies, national laboratories, universities, and engineering and consulting organizations.
