ACP PEAK: Performance, Modeling & Assessment

March 30 - April 1, 2026   |   Aurora, CO   |   Gaylord Rockies

 

 

 

The future of clean energy starts here.

Improve clean energy project performance

ACP PEAK: Performance, Modeling & Assessment Program brings together experts to discuss clean energy project performance, optimization of energy resources, data tracking, and improving the accuracy of energy assessments—all within the context of modeling and practical innovations that enhance project returns for stakeholders. The program also explores the technology-side impact on modeling practices for solar, wind, and storage projects.

As we shift to a spring schedule, the 2026 PEAK event will be co-located with the Siting + Permitting Conference from March 30 — April 1 outside of Denver, CO.

Siting Schedule

Key Changes in 2026

Dedicated ACP PEAK programming will be held Monday and Tuesday afternoons, bringing industry leaders together to collaborate on challenges, share best practices, and explore solutions shaping today’s clean energy projects. ACP PEAK attendees also receive full access to all Siting + Permitting Conference activities.

The ACP team carefully considered this change and incorporated input from the PEAK program committee and other attendees at last year’s event.

NOTE: 2025 PEAK attendees are eligible for a special rate to the 2026 event. Contact [email protected] to claim your discount, or check your email for the discount code. 

PEAK + Siting Co-Location Details

Aligning PEAK with Siting & Permitting allows us to leverage the connection between the two programs, particularly around pre-construction activities where modeling, siting, and permitting intersect.

Balancing the intimate nature of the PEAK event with the ability to network with new connections from the siting event is paramount to the ACP team. Here’s how this year’s event will help you build new connections, while strengthening your existing community.

Dedicated PEAK Sessions & Posters

ACP is working closely with the program committee to develop PEAK programming for 2026 that covers new insights and updates. 
  • PEAK sessions will only be open to PEAK registrants. Be sure to select PEAK as your ticket type when registering. 
  • The exhibit hall will also feature a dedicated PEAK poster area.

Dedicated PEAK Networking & Lounge Space

Dedicated PEAK networking will take place within many of the Siting events:
  • Dedicated PEAK area during the Welcome Reception
  • Reserved PEAK tables during meals
  • Separate PEAK lounge
  • Exclusive PEAK networking meetup
  • PEAK-specific badges & lanyards
