Clean Energy in Rural and Remote Communities

Nearly one in six Americans live in a rural or remote community, which often have higher energy costs and burden, less resilient energy systems, and fewer options for clean energy than their urban counterparts, due in part to a lack of investment from private companies, investors, and the federal government. Small communities do not always have the resources to pursue clean energy options without external funding or technical support.

Join this session to explore:

• Are rural communities interested in clean energy projects? What are the main concerns?
• What are the practical steps for investors, developers, and others to best partner and engage with rural communities to ensure projects align with local priorities?
• How can investors, developers, and others support local capacity in rural communities throughout project planning and implementation?
