On May 20th, 2025 the AEG San Antonio Truck Electrification Dinner convened 20 cross-sector leaders to address key challenges and opportunities for medium- and heavy-duty (MD/HD) truck electrification across the Texas Triangle—San Antonio/Austin, Houston, and Dallas–Fort Worth. Participants challenged one another to align on an approach to stakeholder engagement, starting with San Antonio, to expedite progress based on key stakeholder needs and priorities, including economic benefits, community health, and system reliability/resilience.
The speed of change taking place in renewable energy generation, storage, and the technologies is closely associated with the internet of things (IoT). In New York, it has provided a space for smaller, yet positively disruptive technologies such as actively-monitored workstations and lighting fixtures to be paired with elevator and ventilation systems to reduce overall building energy consumption.
AEG has relied upon its members to frame future discussions by raising concerns and recommending solutions through one of the most vital tools at AEG’s disposal. Post event surveys are not only the key to unlocking essential resources for stakeholders, but also primary channels for the team to explore potential discussion topics and address specific challenges that may not occur in other cities.
