Reducing Risk and Elevating Community, Tribal, and Labor Partnerships

Community Benefit Plans are required for all DOE grant and loan applications. They offer a strategy to de-risk large clean energy projects by conducting meaningful engagement with communities, investing in building a skilled and committed workforce for timely project completion, while providing benefits to disadvantaged communities.

Join this session to hear from Department of Energy loan recipients and grant awardees to explore:

• How extensive is the community benefit plan process? How did that process improve the overall project planning and implementation?
• What specific strategies did companies utilize to engage with a diverse array of stakeholders?
• How did companies address roadblocks from misunderstandings?
