2026 New York Solar + Storage Summit
October 13, 2026 - October 14, 2026Albany Capital CenterNew York’s energy system is facing a significant set of challenges: electricity demand is rising, reliability margins are tightening, and affordability concerns are growing. Historically, New York’s energy planning and policy debates have focused on large-scale, centralized infrastructure—transmission and wholesale generation. But inflation, permitting constraints, and long development timelines have exposed a widening gap between the pace of new infrastructure deployment and the speed of load growth driven by economic development, electrification, and artificial intelligence. At the same time, distributed energy resources (DERs) are emerging as an increasingly important part of the solution. New York’s rooftop and community solar industry is adding more than a gigawatt of capacity annually, while a growing pipeline of dispatchable battery energy storage systems (BESS) is poised to provide flexibility, capacity, and reliability when the grid needs it most. As New York considers how to meet rising demand for electricity quickly and cost-effectively, DERs are no longer a rounding error. They are becoming a critical key tool for delivering the affordable, reliable, and clean energy system envisioned in the 2025 New York State Energy Plan. Join the New York Solar Energy Industries Association (NYSEIA) and more than 800 leaders from the public and private sectors at the 2026 New York Solar + Storage Summit, a 1.5-day conference and trade show focused on distributed energy resource deployment, and the rapidly expanding role of DERs in powering New York’s future.

The Renewed Interest in Nuclear Power [tentative title]
October 19, 2026 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM ETNew York University School of LawThis will be a 75-90 minute panel discussion of the renewed interest in nuclear power in the United States, held at New York University School of Law. To start, Heather Payne, a professor of energy law at Ohio State law school, will provide a 15-minute overview of the renewed interest in nuclear energy, and the opportunities and challenges for increasing use of nuclear power. Then, Katrina Wyman, a professor of environmental law at NYU Law, will moderate a 45-minute discussion among Professor Payne, and two or three other panelists about the opportunities and the challenges. Katrina will work with the panelists in advance to develop questions to ask them that reflect their expertise. The panel will conclude with 15 minutes of questions from the audience. Katrina would like a representative from NYSERDA to be on the panel to discuss New York State's interest in nuclear power and the ongoing development of a master plan for advanced nuclear power in the state. Katrina is reaching out to obtain a panelist who can speak about the federal Department of Energy's efforts to promote nuclear power development, but does not yet have a confirmed panelist to provide a perspective on federal activities. [Note: Katrina's website is included in the spot for the event website since there is no website yet for the event, and the event website is a required field.]

Net Zero Tour
October 22, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ETUnited Way of Long Islandhttps://www.unitedwayli.org/energychallenge Includes members of the energy committee with co-chairs Robert Catell and David Manning United Way of Long Island’s NET ZERO Energy Building Campaign is an award-winning, state-of-the-art project that provides essential skills training for populations in need while setting a new standard in renewable energy for non-profit organizations throughout the region. The project is transforming United Way’s 31,000 sq. ft. headquarters into a building that produces as much energy as it consumes. With one of the largest solar arrays of any not-for-profit commercial building in New York State, United Way will avoid more than $65,000 per year in energy costs, which will be reinvested into existing United Way programs. The headquarters -- renamed the Entenmann Family Center for Hope -- will serve as a hands-on training ground for United Way's Workforce Development Training Academy, consisiting of our signature YouthBuild, VetsBuild, and PowerUp! programs. In addition, the Entenmann Family Center for Hope will function as a “command center” for non-profit organizations across Long Island that are impacted by catastrophic events like 2012’s Super Storm Sandy, giving these vital organizations a base from which they can continue serving Long Island communities in need when their own facilities are unavailable.
