  • Oscar Aitchison, Power Systems Engineer, Engineering & Operations, Okra Solar

  • Samantha Childress, Solutions Architect Manager, Microgrid & DER, Schneider Electric

  • Jesse Gerstin, Director, Sustainable Business Development, SimpliPhi Power

  • Zihe Menge, Senior Associate African Energy, RMI (formerly Rocky Mountain Institute)


From May 11 to June 3, the Microgrid 2021 Virtual Conference will explore topics from economical energy, sustainability, electric reliability and future impact. There will be a pre-recorded presentation as well as a live Q&A event.
