Clean Energy Attracts Business – CO, CA, and AZ Policy Leaders Address Eenergy and Business in a Changing Climate

Overview

The shift to renewable sources of power has been accelerating for several years and could be further boosted with supportive state policies that respond to stakeholder demands for clean energy solutions. This third webinar in the series convenes energy policy officials from several states to discuss how they use state clean energy goals and requirements that support a pro-clean air, pro-growth economy to create a competitive state advantage that attracts new business and business investment in their states. Renewable energy is not a stand-alone issue: it impacts jobs and job quality in different ways in different communities and industry sectors, requiring place-based economic solutions. The panel will discuss their organization’s journey to clean energy policies, and how various sectors are engaged, as a path forward that can guide other states. Jobs opportunities created by the transition to a clean energy policy will be discussed as well.

This webinar convenes economic development, utility managers and municipal leaders who highly prize their sustainability commitments to discuss how supportive renewable policy in Arizona can be a driver of local economic vitality. Companies responding to the need to decarbonize factor into their choice of energy suppliers and decisions in the management of their operations and location of their facilities.
