On February 19th, an interactive symposium designed specifically for community and local government leaders, policymakers, and energy and climate program implementers will be held in Oakland.
A consortium of community choice aggregators, nonprofit and private sector solution providers, municipalities, and universities has implemented Advanced Energy Community (AEC) pilot projects in four communities, of which EcoBlock is one. The integrated AEC approach has advanced local climate protection, economic and job growth, and public health with a focus on disadvantaged communities.
This event will be a forum for stakeholders to explore promising program designs and scaling strategies as these pilots near completion. Attendees will assess project outcomes, consider policy recommendations, and contribute to an AEC Policy and Program Roadmap to advance California’s resilience, equity, affordability, and climate goals.
The symposium is hosted by The Climate Center, Zero Net Energy Alliance, Community Energy & Equity Resources, MCE, The Energy Coalition, and the California Institute for Energy and Environment at UC Berkeley, with support from the California Energy Commission.
This event is by invitation only, and registration is required. Register here.
