The Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) announced the return of its Clean Energy Conference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Presented in partnership with the Mohawk Valley Clean Energy Team, this year\u2019s conference will explore community incentives, opportunities and challenges related to recent state and federal policies.<\/p>\n

Warren and Washington counties are part of ANCA.<\/p>\n

With a focus on how small and rural communities can help advance a statewide transition to clean energy while preserving their values and character, the conference will convene clean energy experts, advocates and contractors, as well as local community leaders.<\/p>\n

It will be held June 1 and 2 at the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley in Utica.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn alignment with ANCA\u2019s aim to elevate the voices of North Country communities, this year\u2019s Clean Energy Conference will focus on the unique concerns and needs of our hamlets, villages, towns and counties\u2014and how they can maximize emerging opportunities as new legislation rolls out across the state,\u201d said ANCA energy circuit rider and conference organizer Jennifer Perry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>Through a variety of presentations, workshops and roundtable sessions, guest speakers will share success stories and address ways rural communities can benefit from recent policies like New York\u2019s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, as well as challenges that may arise as these policies are implemented across the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to partner with the Mohawk Valley Clean Energy Team for this year\u2019s conference,\u201d Perry said. \u201cOur extensive networks of energy partners and regional leaders will provide valuable insight for community members interested in learning more about these new policies and how we can work together to build a clean energy future that works for all.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mohawk Valley Clean Energy Team is made up of staff from Mohawk Valley Economic Development District Inc. (MVEDD) and the Otsego County Conservation Association who work with communities in New York\u2019s Mohawk Valley to help them become more energy efficient and sustainable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited about working with ANCA on the Clean Energy Conference,\u201d said Amanda Kaier, clean energy communities coordinator for MVEDD. \u201cIt is a great opportunity to collaborate so we can better serve our communities, our region and the industry, while re-energizing the creative and innovative ideas that help move clean energy projects forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conference topics include stakeholder and partner engagement, equity and justice in project design and community outreach, community benefit from large-scale renewables, community-scale incentives and success stories, updates from government and nonprofit groups, building and transportation electrification, electric grid upgrades, carbon sequestration, localizing electricity supplies, and more.<\/p>\n

The conference will also provide networking opportunities with contractors, service providers, nonprofits, government agencies and others working to expand clean energy initiatives across New York state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Thursday evening reception at the recently constructed Irish Cultural Center will feature Utica cuisine and drink. A raffle of local products and experiences will take place on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Registration costs $150. Municipal staff may attend at a reduced rate. Those interested can\u00a0 <\/span>email events@adirondack.org for a discount code. Participants who find the cost of registration or travel to be a barrier are invited to inquire about financial support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
