California Clean Energy Procurement

ABOUT THE SUMMIT

Meet the Buyers Live and In-Person

California Clean Energy Procurement Summit has been organized to let you hear directly from the state’s leading energy buyers — CCAs, munis and POUs, IOUs and corporate energy buyers — on the strategies necessary to achieve California's climate and clean energy goals and assess the impact of CPUC’s latest game-changing procurement order of 40GW of clean energy by 2032.

This is your opportunity to meet the buyers and hear their plans and goals for their upcoming procurements of clean energy, including renewables, storage, microgrids, transportation electrification, and offshore wind.

The California Clean Energy Procurement Summit will continue Infocast’s long-established status as the provider of choice for information on upcoming procurements and the ability to network face to face with an unparalleled range of energy buyers in the Golden State.

As have previous versions of this very successful meeting, we will deliver the latest on the developments you need to know on clean energy procurement, on the evolving IRP process, on the race to ensure Resource Adequacy (RA), the CPUC’s latest orders to ensure summer grid reliability and on the outlook for increasing opportunities in any aspect of clean energy.

Hear ALL of California’s Leading Clean Energy Buyers — CCAs, munis and POUs, IOUs and corporate energy buyers — discuss their upcoming procurements, how they intend to meet the CPUC’s 40GW order, and how renewables, storage, transportation electrification, microgrids and offshore wind fit into their strategies for meeting California’s clean energy goals.

**WARNING: Please do not book any guest rooms with 3rd Party Housing Companies for this event. Infocast does not partner with outside housing companies, so we advise that you only book guest rooms at the hotel using the details provided above.**

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event industry came to a halt. After more than a year of putting group gatherings on hold, we are finally able to do the unimaginable: invite you to CONNECT IN PERSON!

Infocast is preparing the Southeast Renewable Energy Summit as a live event experience, and we have new protocols in place so that all individuals onsite – attendees, speakers, sponsors, staff and venue personnel – remain safe and comfortable throughout the event.

Infocast continues to make safety for all those onsite at our events our top priority.

We are facilitating processes that will ensure optimal sanitary conditions in all environments where in-person interaction will take place.

We have established a Safe Networking Environment Program that will include:

All participants, including attendees, exhibitors, speakers, sponsors, and staff will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours or less prior to arrival.
Face coverings will be required for all participants regardless of their vaccination status. Masks will be provided for anyone who needs one. Although some jurisdictions do not have a mask mandate, our event will require masks to be worn. As an indoor event, we want to ensure safe in-person environment so that all our participants can continue to do business safely.
Temperature checks before entering the event.
Hand sanitizer stations positioned throughout the meeting space. Attendees are encouraged to sanitize their hands frequently and after every meeting.
Meeting rooms will be set up in compliance with the current state distancing and capacity guidelines in North Carolina to ensure you can take part safely in the education sessions, dining options and exhibit room.
Appropriate signage throughout the meeting space to reinforce spatial distancing and other safety reminders. In order to make attendees feel more comfortable, physical distancing when indoors will also be accommodated throughout the event and venue where possible and appropriate.
Regular cleaning protocols. We will work with the venue to confirm it has implemented a comprehensive range of health and safety measures to increase safety standards. Check here for more information.

Confidence that we have created a safe environment is what we seek to provide to our valued participants as we get back to face-to-face events. We want to create a safe, worry-free event so that you can collaborate, network and make valuable connections that will help drive the renewable industry forward.

*Policies are subject to change based on CDC recommendations. Infocast will continue to monitor changes and will comply with CDC, state and local guidelines that are in force at the time of the event.
