California Clean Energy Procurement - Presented by Infocast

May 21 - 22, 2024
Northern California

Connect with California’s Key Energy Procurement, Decarbonization & Development Decision-Makers for Critical Insights into the California Energy Landscape

As California has moved aggressively to create a legislative and policy framework for a carbon-neutral future, the state represents massive opportunities, both near- and medium-term, for development of new resources for clean energy production. The Golden State’s need to find clean energy to decarbonize not only its power, but additionally its transportation, industrial and building sectors, makes understanding legislative, regulatory and LSE policies, plans and procurement initiatives essential for development organizations.

The California Clean Energy Procurement Summit continues its successful tradition of bringing together energy procurement decision makers and market stakeholders, —including CCAs, Munis, POUs, IOUs and more —to share their plans for upcoming procurements and participate in discussions about how renewables, transmission & Interconnection, storage, transportation electrification, and natural gas fit into their strategies for meeting California’s clean energy goals.

Plus, new for 2024, this highly anticipated event will also bring together the state's decarbonization and sustainability leaders to provide the latest insights into California's unprecedented plans and approaches for decarbonizing the energy, industrial, building and transportation sectors. Experts will provide dynamic conversations around achieving carbon neutrality through aggressive reduction of fossil fuels, and accelerating carbon reduction programs and zero emission transportation, while continuing to build out solar and wind capacity, and other resources that provide clean, renewable energy to displace fossil-fuel fired electrical generation, while scaling up new options such as CCS/CCUS, renewable hydrogen for hard-to-electrify end uses and biomethane, among other technologies.

Continuing this event’s long-established record as the premier provider of actionable information on upcoming procurements and policy developments in the Golden State, this is an event you must attend! Don't miss this unique forum offering the latest insights and unparalleled opportunities to meet and network face-to-face with California’s energy market leaders.
