Powering the Future Grid: Alpine Power Systems Heads to IEEE PES T&D 2026

From May 4–7, 2026, the energy industry’s brightest minds will gather in Chicago for the IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution (T&D) Conference & Exposition—one of the most influential events shaping the future of the electric grid.

This year, Alpine Power Systems is proud to be part of the conversation.

Our Chief Revenue Officer Sean Davis, President of Critical Power, Jon Centella, Vice President of Business Development, Craig Wirtz, and our President of Marketing, Rob Hirschberg will be on-site connecting with industry leaders, partners, and innovators driving the next generation of power infrastructure.

Why IEEE PES T&D Matters

IEEE PES T&D isn’t just another trade show—it’s a global hub for grid innovation, resilience, and modernization.

With thousands of attendees and hundreds of exhibitors, the event brings together utilities, engineers, manufacturers, and technology providers tackling some of the industry’s biggest challenges.

Key themes for 2026 include:

• Grid reliability and resilience in the face of extreme weather and aging infrastructure

• Electrification and rapidly growing energy demand

• Smart grid technologies and digital transformation

• Integration of renewable energy and distributed energy resources

As the industry evolves, events like IEEE PES T&D play a critical role in aligning strategy, technology, and execution across the power ecosystem.
