Sustainability
For decades, real estate has viewed the energy system as another vendor and cost center to be managed. Increasingly, the utility industry has become much more than that. Energy providers are a key driver of real estate's ability to meet decarbonization targets and, in return, might be willing to compensate commercial real estate for the flexibility they offer to the power grid. Join senior executives from the utility industry in a real-life interchange with the built environment about how each of them are challenged by the energy transition and, perhaps, how closer collaboration can unlock new opportunities to accelerate the energy transition.
