On June 25, ABS joined executives, policymakers, investors, utilities, technology companies, and energy professionals at Energy Forum 2026, organized by the Spain-US Chamber of Commerce in Miami.
The event provided an excellent opportunity to exchange perspectives on the trends shaping the future of the energy sector. Hosted by Greenberg Traurig and presented by Avangrid, Energy Forum 2026 brought together leading companies, utilities, investors, policymakers, and technology providers to discuss grid modernization, energy security and resilience, renewable energy integration, artificial intelligence, data centers, and the growing demand for reliable power infrastructure.
The discussions throughout the forum closely reflected many of the challenges we help our customers address every day. Through ABS Wind and ABS Power Conversion, we support utilities, renewable energy operators, and industrial customers with engineering, repair, and power conversion solutions that improve reliability, extend asset life, and strengthen critical energy infrastructure
Representing ABS were Alejandro Pardiñas, CEO of ABS, Nelson Carrodeguas, Global Director of ABS Wind, Pablo Rodríguez, Global Business Development Director of ABS Wind, Rubén Macías, Global Finance & Operation Controller of ABS, and Renato Bortolon, Director of ABS Power Conversion.
