During a time where energy strategy and physical space have become inseparable, the built environment is no longer just about brick and mortar, it is about the power that flows through it.

As we prepare for the American Planning Association’s National Planning Conference (NPC26) in Detroit this April, an excellent opportunity has emerged for thought leaders in electrification, distributed energy, AI Data Centers, behind the meter and resilient infrastructure. The ChargedUp! Pavilion is where the technology of tomorrow meets the planners and policymakers of today.
