The countdown has begun for the upcoming DoD Energy & Power Summit, set to take place in just one week. The event, scheduled from July 9-10 at the National Housing Center, Washington, D.C., will bring together key stakeholders from across the energy and power ecosystem to discuss strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing the Department of Defense’s (DoD) energy security, resiliency, and independence.
Leaders from government, industry, and academia will convene to share insights and solutions that support the DoD’s evolving operational energy requirements. The summit will highlight advancements in energy technologies, resilient infrastructure, and innovative practices designed to meet mission-critical power demands in contested and austere environments.
The summit will take place next week, and active duty U.S. military and government personnel are invited to attend and participate free of charge.
