Welcome to the 16th Operational Energy Summit!


In its 16th year, the IDGA's Operational Energy Summit is set to once again provide a dynamic platform for advancing ideas, fostering important discussions, and promoting collaboration in the ever-evolving landscape of operational energy within the Department of Defense.

This year's summit will delve into various aspects of operational energy, encompassing solutions for energy storage and discussions on enhancing energy resilience for military operations and installations. Speakers will explore strategies to improve operational energy efficiency, mitigate risks, and underscore the pivotal role of energy in overall defense strategies.

The event will particularly emphasize energy storage, focusing on fleets, tactical vehicles, and operational gear. We'll explore the delicate balance between advancing defense technology and the escalating energy demands, closely examining the challenges involved in maintaining efficient energy use during operations.

Join us for a thorough exploration of the complexities surrounding operational and installation energy.
