Get ready for a balanced POWERGEN experience, where Poseidon and Hades unite to spotlight the entire generation mix. Poseidon channels the momentum of clean energy—hydro, wind and solar integration, and the storage that ties it all together—while Hades embodies the grounded reliability of conventional and firm power - gas turbines, large nuclear and more. Together, they guide you through a program built on harmony, camaraderie, and balance—because a resilient grid needs both.

Follow Blue (Poseidon) for renewables-focused content. Follow Orange (Hades) for conventional and firm power content. Blend them for ‑cross-sector‑ sessions on reliability and integration across POWERGEN’s tracks and zones.

About Poseidon

Poseidon embodies the movement and momentum of water. With his trident in hand, he points toward the clean power frontier: hydropower and pumped storage, utility- scale wind and solar, and the energy storage that makes variable resources work harder for the grid. Follow blue to explore renewables focused tracks and zones across the agenda, the app, and onsite wayfinding to chart a renewables first‑route through your week.

Poseidon is…

Fluid

Adaptive and fast‑moving, he mirrors the pace of renewables innovation—from hydro to hybrid systems and storage that makes variability work for the grid.

Forward Leaning

As the “Earthshaker‑,” he’s about momentum and practical progress—turning ambition into action across projects and portfolios.

Integrative

He brings pieces together—generation + storage + digital—so intermittent resources contribute to reliability and affordability.

Energizing

His presence signals sessions and zones where new technologies, case studies, and scale‑up stories take center stage.

About Hades

Often associated with the realm below, Hades here represents what lies under and underpins the modern grid: depth, order, and the resources that deliver dependable, dispatchable power. He represents the firm power backbone that keeps industry running: steady thermal plants, advanced gas turbines, large nuclear, and other conventional assets being modernized for a lower carbon future. Follow orange to dive into conventional generation, O&M, reliability and more.
