Just wanted to post about 3 events in NYC with Maggie Koerth-Baker,
who is working on decentralized energy topics:

The third one on the 30th looks the most interesting (unfortunately I
can't make it myself):
May 30, 6:30 pm: I’ll be leading a panel on decentralized/distributed
electricity generation. From DIY home power projects, to the benefits
(and problems) of fitting smaller scale power into the grid, this
panel will look at what happens when we start making electricity on a
smaller scale. Joining me are Chris Hackett—host of the Science
Channel’s Stuck with Hackett—and Susan Covino of PJM Interconnect, one
of the independent organizations that controls movement of electricity
around the grid. Again, this is something you should RSVP for. It’ll
be at 199 Lafayette Street, Third Floor, in Manhattan.
