After a three year hiatus, ANCA’s Clean Energy Conference is back! You’re invited to join ANCA and the Mohawk Valley Clean Energy Team for a gathering of stakeholders and innovators as we explore incentives and opportunities, as well as challenges, related to state and federal policies like New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act.
With a focus on elevating local interests and marginalized voices, we will explore how we can work together to meet climate goals while advancing a clean energy economy that strengthens businesses and communities across northern New York.
We hope you’ll join us at the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley, in the heart of Utica’s historic brewery district, for this two-day learning and networking event.
