Join us for a panel discussion followed by interactive “Think Tank” breakout groups where we will discuss innovative methods to community electrification. Clean Power Alliance (CPA) offers a ground-breaking program called Energized Communities, which supports our local governments in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties as they electrify their buildings, fleets, and communities through pre-set pathways and creative projects. ear directly from local government staff on their bold and actionable solutions to decarbonization challenges with funding support and technical assistance from CPA. Our Think Tank discussions will encourage attendees to self-select into groups by topic to discuss their electrification experiences and challenges with one of our panelists as a guided moderator. The session will be highly interactive, with opportunities for attendees to dialogue with speakers and learn from each other’s experiences. Attendees will leave this session with concrete ideas to support the execution of electrification projects, plus innovative possibilities to consider.
