About the event: CC Power works with CCAs to procure and build clean energy resources. Many new clean energy projects are needed for CCAs to meet their goals and to deliver clean power to customers. Developing clean energy projects can be challenging and must consider many factors. Stakeholder input can inform CC Power’s efforts, as well as the efforts of individual CCAs. This workshop will advance this conversation, enable stakeholder input, and inform CC Power on key perspectives and considerations in “Getting It Built Right.”
