Modernizing Public Facilities: Financing, Technologies, and Solutions at NAESCO’s 2026 R3 Conference & Innovation Expo, November 17–19, in San Antonio 

August 25, 2026

Washington, DC The National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO) is set to host its highly anticipated annual meeting, the R3 (Renovate, Retrofit, Reduce) Conference & Innovation Expo, at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk in San Antonio, Texas, November 17–19, 2026. 

As the need to modernize aging infrastructure in publicly owned facilities—including K–12 schools, colleges and universities, hospitals, courthouses, municipal buildings, and water and wastewater facilities—remains critical, public-sector agencies continue to seek financing options to make these essential upgrades possible. The energy service company (ESCO) industry provides solutions that enable building owners to modernize facilities, improve energy performance, enhance resilience, and address deferred maintenance while working within limited capital budgets. 

The R3 Conference & Innovation Expo brings together ESCOs, public sector agencies, engineers, manufacturers, technology providers, financiers, and other industry stakeholders to explore the latest trends, technologies, policies, and project delivery strategies to support, advance, and scale the modernization of buildings.  

“I’ve been involved in Energy Saving Performance Contracts in New Hampshire for the past 13 years. It is a true passion of mine to continue the progress NH has made towards energy efficiency. Having attended my first NAESCO events in 2024, I highly appreciate this organization, and especially the annual R3 conference, as a way for public sector employees to network and learn about the industry and to bring that knowledge back and see success with ESPC in their home states,” said Karen Rantamaki, Director, State of NH, Dept. of Administrative Services, Division of Plant & Property. 

Registration is currently open to members and non-members. Public sector registration is only $450 for the full event.  

Exhibit booths and sponsorship are available. For more information and registration, please visit the event website
