Join GCPA and the Amperon team for an in-depth look at the Summer 2026 Weather and Demand Forecast.

As temperatures climb and grid stress peaks, having accurate, forward-looking intelligence is essential for every player in the market. Join us for GCPA's annual Summer Forecast Virtual Forum — one of our most well-attended virtual events of the year — featuring the expert team at Amperon, a leader in AI-driven energy forecasting and demand analytics.

Sean Kelly, Co-Founder and CEO of Amperon, will deliver Amperon's summer demand outlook alongside Elliott Chorn, VP of Customer. Sean brings deep roots in power markets, having traded at Tenaska, Lehman Brothers, EDF, and E.ON before co-founding Amperon in 2018 — combining that market intuition with AI-driven technology to modernize how the industry forecasts and plans. Elliott brings over 15 years of experience at the intersection of energy markets, analytics, and technology. As VP of Customer, he leads Amperon's customer strategy, ensuring solutions align with market needs and deliver measurable impact, drawing on prior leadership roles in analytics and trading at TrueLight Energy. Together, Sean and Elliott will explore how shifting load profiles, renewable growth, and evolving consumption patterns are shaping peak season dynamics. Dr. Mark Shipham, Amperon's Chief Meteorologist, will round out the session with his seasonal weather forecast, analyzing temperature trends, heat event probabilities, and atmospheric conditions expected to drive grid performance this summer. With nearly four decades of meteorological experience — including stints at NASA, Morgan Stanley, and Dominion Energy — Dr. Shipham is widely regarded as one of the most skilled predictors of extreme weather events in the country.

Whether you're managing risk, optimizing assets, or planning for resource adequacy, this session delivers the intelligence you need heading into peak season. Don't miss it.
