Verona, Wisconsin, December 8, 2025 – Matt Guise, Project Manager at ACS, will address today’s critical energy challenges in his session at POWERGEN 2026, scheduled for January 20, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.
Titled “From Grid-Lock to Microgrid: A Blueprint for an Agile, Resilient Energy Future,” Guise’s session will explore practical solutions to the limitations of centralized power grids. Drawing on a recent ACS project, Guise will detail how the company designed and deployed a multi-megawatt, multi-source onsite power plant that fortifies capacity and manages peak energy demand. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how integrated microgrids can improve energy security, cost control, and operational flexibility.
“For today’s large energy users, a backup generator isn’t enough,” Guise says. “Organizations need a core, permanent power strategy that delivers resilience and operational independence. I’m looking forward to sharing a blueprint for organizations seeking to build a smarter, more flexible, and reliable energy future.”
The “From Grid-Lock to Microgrid” session, part of PowerGen’s Onsite Power and Flexible Generation track, will be held Tuesday, January 20, 10:30 to 11:15 a.m., at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.
