**Evaluate this session. **
Cannabis is legal in 31 states. The grow houses that produce it use 1 kW high pressure sodium grow lights and large HVAC installations. With demand levels reaching 500 W per square foot, grow houses are among the most energy dense loads coming online. Due to historically uncertain legal status, utilities often do not know of these sites until they result in outages or other power quality issues. The panelists in this session all have experiences with various aspects of this challenge. They will present lessons learned and discuss significant energy efficiency measures that utilities may want to offer this customer segment.
