Moving from a successful pilot to a full-scale implementation is one if the biggest challenges startups face when working with utilities. Long procurement cycles, regulatory hurdles, and organizational inertia often stall progress, even when pilots demonstrate clear value. At the same time, utilities need scalable solutions to modernize the grid, improve reliability, and integrate more clean energy. So, how can we bridge that gap? 

In this panel, we’ll hear from both utilities and startup who have navigated this journey – sharing key lessons, best practices, and strategies from moving from pilot to scale successfully.
