It’s been three weeks since we wrapped CEBA Connect: Spring Summit 2025, and we’ve just about recovered from the energy, insights, and excitement of an unforgettable few days in Minneapolis, MN.

From powerful mainstage moments to deep-dive breakout sessions and one very memorable after-hours party, this year’s summit was a celebration of what’s possible when the clean energy community comes together.

This year’s summit brought together 786 registrants, featured 104 speakers, and was supported by 19 sponsors. Across the event, attendees engaged in 42 conversation topics, 30 breakout sessions, 2 receptions, and even a tour of MISO’s operating room. The energy was electric on our main stage, and we had an unforgettable after-hours party.  

From deep dives on global energy markets to first timer-friendly primers, the summit delivered real-time takeaways for clean energy buyers, providers, and partners alike. We heard from industry leaders, exchanged strategies with peers, and tackled the most pressing challenges facing clean energy today.

Highlights from the Main Stage

CEBA CEO Rich Powell took the stage to deliver his State of the Market address — a powerful reflection on how far we’ve come and where we’re going as a clean energy community. Watch it here. 

From federal policy shifts to the future of market reform and procurement innovation, Rich reminded us why bold leadership and shared purpose are more critical than ever.
