Hilton Arden West, Sacramento, CA

 

Join us this fall for CESA’s flagship Market Development Forum, bringing together leaders from across California’s energy storage industry.

In past years, MDF has welcomed distinguished speakers including the President of the California Public Utilities Commission and the State Fire Marshal, alongside top policymakers, regulators, and industry experts shaping the future of energy storage.

Our 2025 agenda featured timely discussions on market design, interconnection reform, distributed energy resources, BESS safety, long-term planning, resource adequacy, and tax and tariff policy. MDF continues to be a valuable forum for gaining insights, building partnerships, and advancing critical industry conversations.

 

Prior MDF agendas: 2024, 2023, 2022 & 2021.

Additional details will be announced in the coming months. In the meantime, we encourage you to mark your calendar and explore past MDF agendas to get a sense of the topics and discussions that define this event.
