Enthusiastic reception and onsite engagement at inaugural event underscores momentum and opportunity within the state

Intersolar & Energy Storage North America (IESNA), the premier tradeshow and conference for solar + storage professionals, last week staged its first regional event in Austin, Texas. The inaugural edition brought together more than 600 solar, storage, EV infrastructure, and manufacturing professionals, along with state legislators, regulators, and policy makers.

It was gratifying to see connections being made that will help accelerate the clean energy industry in Texas and beyond. We look forward to continuing the momentum with our next edition of IESNA Texas on November 18-19, 2025 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas."
