Breaking Ground at ACP’s 2024 Siting & Permitting Conference
A guest post by Scott Dawson, Environmental Director at ENGIE North America.
It is an exciting time to be in the clean energy industry—especially in the environmental field. Ìý
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act has allowed a massive amount of investment in the clean energy space, resulting in the unprecedented growth of projects being developed, built, and operated. As development continues in existing geographies and expands into new areas, the extent of issues and potential stakeholder conflicts continues to grow and evolve.Ìý
The ACP Siting & Permitting Conference 2024 is the place to hear about the issues currently facing the industry and discover and discuss innovative solutions to address them. Ìý
