Conversations From the Front Lines: Reflections on Clean Energy Policy & Local Engagement Across Texas

In collaboration with REAL Houston, CleanTX, and Cleantech Leaders Climate Forum, EDP Renewables looks forward to an illuminating discussion about the pivotal impact of local community relations on project development and clean energy policy during Houston Energy & Climate Week! Join us on September 16 from 5:30p to 7:30p at Holland & Knight's offices located at 811 Main Street, Suite 2500 in downtown Houston. Use this form to register: https://forms.office.com/e/WQUwFkgw8q.
Texas energy policy is ultimately decided in Austin, but conversations on the ground before and throughout the legislative process critically shape policy outcomes. Project developers and community engagement operatives will share their grassroots experiences and outline strategies for fostering positive, lasting stakeholder relationships with elected officials, landowners, school districts, and project communities. Join us to discuss lessons learned and how productive partnerships built on trust can guide this industry under a new Presidential administration.
