Past event: Microgrids & Energy Resilience Summit 2025

The 2nd Annual Microgrids & Energy Resilience Summit will convene senior leaders from the Department of Defense, federal agencies, and the energy industry to examine how the deployment of advanced microgrid systems is reinforcing energy security, reliability, and mission effectiveness across military installations. As energy threats and operational demands grow more complex, the 2025 Summit will spotlight efforts to implement scalable, cyber-secure microgrids that reduce vulnerabilities, enable continuous operations in contested or disrupted environments, and enhance energy assurance for both domestic bases and forward-operating locations. Attendees will gain firsthand insights into emerging technologies, infrastructure modernization initiatives, and cross-sector strategies that are shaping the future of defense energy resilience.

Topics to be Covered

• Leading Microgrid Implementations Across the DoD for Resilient and Reliable Energy Access
• Assuring Energy Resilience for Sustained Air Force Dominance
• Powering the Mission: The Evolving Role of Microgrids Across Military Installations
• Transforming the Grid: Energy Provider Perspectives on Scalable Microgrid Solutions
• Supporting Microgrid Resilience in Global Military Instillations for Sustained Readiness

Why You Should Attend this Summit

Energy resilience and security are vital to maintaining the operational readiness and strategic advantage of the U.S. military. As the largest energy consumer in the federal government, the Department of Defense is advancing microgrid technologies to ensure continuous, reliable power across military installations, including in austere and contested environments. The 2025 Microgrids & Energy Resilience Summit will bring together defense leaders, federal agencies, and industry experts to explore scalable, cyber-secure, and mission-driven microgrid solutions that enhance energy assurance and support uninterrupted operations.

This year's Summit will feature discussions on leading microgrid deployments across the Services, lessons learned from installations such as MCAS Miramar and White Sands Missile Range, and the evolving role of microgrids in global and expeditionary settings. Key sessions will also highlight the integration of advanced wireless technologies to improve system responsiveness, as well as efforts to strengthen cybersecurity for operational technology systems supporting microgrids. Attendees will hear directly from senior officials driving microgrid implementation across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Department of Energy, offering a comprehensive view of current progress and future priorities. Join stakeholders across the defense energy community to gain actionable insights, examine technical challenges, and engage in critical conversations about the future of microgrid deployment in support of national defense objectives.

The team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we assemble the most respected minds in microgrids and energy resilience across military, academia, and industry. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a holistic group of decision makers and solution providers
