2020 Factbook Reveals a Decade's Shift to Advanced Energy

Last week, the Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) and Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) released their 8th annual “2020 Sustainable Energy in America Factbook,” revealing a decade-long transformation of the U.S. energy sector to cleaner advanced energy resources.

How Corporate Demand Can Drive Renewable Energy and Economic Growth, State by State

Live on Tuesday, March 10, 2020, at 3pm ET | 12noon PT

Utility renewable energy programs for C&I customers are no longer a new concept, but they’re still not meeting the potential demand in many vertically integrated states, where customers don’t have the options they need to meet their renewable energy goals. This webinar will look at the potential C&I renewable energy demand in vertically integrated states based on analysis of two very different states, Florida and Indiana, and the economic benefits that would come from meeting that demand; trends in utility programs across the country; and how customer perspectives and preferences have shifted as the concept of utility renewable energy programs matures.

Panelists:

• Caitlin Marquis, Director, Advanced Energy Economy
• Holly Lahd, Lead Energy Program Manager, Target
• Tyler Espinoza, Director Energy & Climate Practice, 3Degrees
