ACORE Renewable Energy Policy Forum April 22-23

EESI is delighted to be a supporting organization for the 2015 ACORE Renewable Energy Policy Forum, which is being held on Wednesday, April 22 and Thursday, April 23.

Join the renewable energy industry as it mobilizes key policymakers and federal and state stakeholders to deliberate, develop and advance critical near and long-term policy priorities that will motivate the President, the new Congress, state leaders, and the emerging slate of 2016 presidential candidates.

As a top priority for the remainder of his term, President Obama is proposing permanent renewable energy tax credits and other favorable policies. The new Congress will address these policies as it considers the 2015 budget and develops tax reform legislation. Meanwhile, attention is shifting to the states, as they decide the future of their renewable energy programs, and how to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's upcoming 111(d) Clean Power Plan. As some propose increases to their renewable portfolio standards, others are considering rollbacks. The Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies are moving forward on significant renewable energy power and fuels procurement as well as on regulatory implementation. And, with the 2016 presidential campaign gearing up, renewable energy needs to be an important part of the nation’s energy discussion. Clean, renewable energy has widespread bipartisan support and must be a key element in America's energy strategy.

ACORE’s Policy Forum champions the industry's progress in reducing costs and deploying at scale, and will feature policymakers, industry leaders, and other perspectives to outline challenges and highlight opportunities facing the sector. The Forum will drive bipartisan renewable energy policy priorities and strategy for the next two years, setting up a successful long-term outlook for the industry. The outcome of the Forum – the policy agenda for renewable energy policy – will be shared with the President and Congress, as well as governors, legislators, and regulators in the states.
