Unlocking the Future of America's Clean Energy Workforce
With major clean energy investments being implemented, many U.S. companies have begun to announce new clean energy-related plants and projects across the country. This represents a potential game-changing opportunity for the clean energy workforce and those looking to make a shift into the industry. According to the American Clean Power Plan, “an aggressive decarbonization policy has the potential to create roughly five to six million jobs across solar, wind, and battery storage technologies”. What do these jobs look like? What types of development and training opportunities exist? How does the industry overcome challenges in the labor market? This event gives a high-level overview of these topics to the clean energy community, Congressional staff, and other key allies in an effort to increase awareness of the opportunities and challenges that exist in the labor market.
Powering America 201: Building Our Electric Grid for the 21st Century
As Summer weather sets in, rising temperatures and more frequent storms are once again shining the spotlight on our nation’s electric grid. While clean energy sources can provide long-term solutions to energy security and stability, in order to fully realize that potential we need to modernize and improve our electric grid and transmission infrastructure. CE4A will revisit our conversation from 2022 with the goal of educating the public and the media on the relationship between renewable energy and transmission infrastructure, the funding allocated for grid modernization from laws like the IRA/IIJA/CHIPs, what still needs to be addressed in future legislation, and the role the clean energy industry can play in this process.
Shaping the Future of Clean Energy
With the recent influx of clean energy investments flowing into states, we have begun to see a boom in the development of new and innovative technologies.
