The United States is on a mission to revolutionize its energy landscape by embracing low and zero-carbon solutions. Yet, unlocking the full potential of clean energy infrastructure requires breaking down barriers that impede swift implementation. How can we navigate the regulatory complexities, secure necessary financing, and overcome technical challenges to propel climate-friendly projects forward?

In this session, we will join forces to:

  • Unpack the current landscape of federal support for clean energy infrastructure and exploring opportunities and obstacles for effective implementation
  • Showcase real-world success stories and distilling valuable lessons from innovative clean energy projects within the United States and beyond
  • Ignite creativity through cutting-edge solutions and partnerships that expedite the deployment of clean energy infrastructure, foster job creation, economic growth, and enhance resilience
  • Spotlight the pivotal roles of state and local governments, utilities, investors, developers, and civil society in driving the clean energy agenda forward, while ensuring equitable access and community engagement
