The numbers tell one story. The experience tells the rest.

DTECH® is where utilities, EPCs, consultants, financial institutions, independent power producers, and technology providers come together to solve real grid challenges, share lessons learned, and align on what’s next.

From planning and engineering to financing, deployment, and operations, DTECH® brings every part of the energy value chain into one room. It is where relationships are built, ideas are tested, and decisions are shaped by the people doing the work every day.

If your role touches transmission, distribution, grid modernization, or the future of energy infrastructure, this is where you need to be.

Session Highlight | Energy Storage

How do you go from zero to utility-scale energy storage with confidence?

In “Oklahoma Gas and Electric’s Mobile and Stationary Energy Storage Strategy Advancement through Self-Managed Pilot Deployment, Research, and Testing,” learn how OG&E evaluated, tested, and qualified battery energy storage across multiple real-world use cases.

Hear how a utility-led BESS pilot helped OG&E develop planning, deployment, and operational standards, compare storage against alternative solutions, and build a roadmap for scaling beyond pilot projects.

Featuring Hermes Arevalo of Oklahoma Gas and Electric, Mark Evlyn of TRC Companies, and Michael D’Ambrose of TRC Companies, this interactive session shares lessons learned, testing results, and strategies utilities can apply today.

As energy systems become more interconnected, the utility threat landscape is expanding in size and complexity. Attackers aren't just utilizing traditional perimeter breaches - they're increasingly exploiting trusted network zones, and targeting the heart of operational technology (OT) environments. Join Factor This and sponsor Fortinet January 20, 2026, at 11 AM ET, to learn from Richard Springer, Fortinet's Sr. Director of Operational Technology Product Marketing, about how bleeding edge approaches to network security monitoring can protect your critical infrastructure.

Our top 3 articles to close out 2025 gave us a clear picture of where renewable energy, and particularly solar, stands headed into the new year. Renewable solutions are reaching unprecedented scale, with powerful impacts in the communities they serve, but policy, infrastructural realities, and political shifts continue to dog the energy transition.
