Join industry experts for a 60-minute session on rethinking grid volatility and building an energy strategy that holds up under pressure.

**Date:** March 3, 2026  
**Time:** 10:00 AM PST

### About This Webinar
Your energy strategy was built for a grid that no longer exists. Join us as Jesse Tootell, Director of Research & Development at Lineage, breaks down what's driving volatility—and why "budget certainty" often means paying a premium—then shares practical approaches for designing an energy strategy built for an unstable grid.

### Learning Objectives
- Explain why grid volatility is now a structural cost driver, and how traditional “budget certainty” contracts shift risk at a significant premium rather than eliminating it.
- Evaluate energy strategy through a risk and capital lens, comparing the cost of fixed procurement against investments in flexibility, controls, and operational capability.
- Assess how site-level control and coordinated load management can generate real financial upside, using real-world examples of demand response and volatility capture during extreme grid events.
