2026 Midwest Energy Solutions Conference

Join the 2026 Midwest Energy Solutions Conference: Accelerating the Energy Transition Across the Midwest

We’re excited to attend the Midwest Energy Solutions (MES) Conference this January in Chicago. As the leading energy event in the Midwest, MES is where meaningful conversations shape what’s next for the region—and we’re looking forward to being part of it.

The conference brings together more than 600 professionals for three days of in-depth panels, forward-looking discussions, and signature networking events, including the well-known MEEA Nightcap.

What We’re Looking to Discuss

The Midwest energy environment is changing quickly. With new federal funding, evolving policies, and smarter grid technologies gaining momentum, there’s a lot to explore. Our team is looking forward to engaging in conversations around:

• Collaborating with utility leaders, program teams, and policy stakeholders
• Insights from expert-led sessions on Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and heat pump adoption
• Industry innovation and achievements recognized at the Inspiring Efficiency Awards

Key Focus Areas in 2026

The 2026 agenda is packed with high-level technical and policy discussions, including:

• The Future of the Grid: Strategies for balancing reliability and affordability while integrating more Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)
• Electrification & Equity: Innovative outreach approaches to ensure residential weatherization and heat pump technologies reach underserved communities
• Policy & Regulation: Navigating the evolving landscape of state energy codes and federal IRA rebate implementation

Let’s Catch Up

Attending MES 2026 as well? We’d love to connect. Whether it’s a quick conversation about cleaner power grids, sharing ideas around electrification, or simply grabbing a coffee between sessions, let’s find time to meet. We look forward to connecting during the conference.
