The Premier Event Uniting Local Governments in NY, NJ, and CT with Cheaper, Cleaner Local Energy Solutions

Local governments from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are independently building opportunities to switch to clean energy.

  • New York is one of the most active community solar markets in the country with plans to stimulate another 1000 MW in the near future
  • Meanwhile New Jersey and Connecticut community solar pilot programs have recently launched, and still need some fine-tuning

Now imagine top Tri-State area clean energy industry professionals getting together to scale the learnings and successes of the leading state programs. It could ultimately stimulate their combined local economies, save residents and small businesses money, and contribute mutually-beneficial long term value (and savings!) to the area’s entire energy value chain.

Infocast’s inaugural Tri-State Community Energy is the premier area event where local leaders from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut will gather together to…

  • Be the first to hear from state regulators about their brand new programs, and how they will impact future development
  • Share the latest information on area community solar and wind policies and market growth potential
  • Hear how utilities plan to get ahead of the inevitable rush of Tri-State community energy projects
  • Learn how distributed energy resources (DERs), and renewable developers and vendors will grow their businesses in—and across—one of the most active areas in the country
  • Benefit from the experience of the Tri-State clean energy early-entries: what lessons have already been learned in the area?

Plus, don’t miss Infocast’s Tri-State Executive Briefing, a one-day tutorial dedicated to helping local governments aggregate community energy. This is the chance to connect with industry peers and CCA/GEA administrators who have successfully procured cheaper, clean, local energy. Hear about the evolution and execution of their programs, and walk away with proven step-by-step plans that work.
