EBC Report-Out on the Recommendations of the Massachusetts Commission on Energy Infrastructure Siting and Permitting
June 18 @ 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm
$175Join EBC for an opportunity to learn more about the recommendations of the Massachusetts Commission on Energy Infrastructure Siting and Permitting issued on March 29, 2024. The Commission, made up of a diverse membership of professionals and advocates invested in the Commonwealth’s clean energy transition goals, was tasked with providing recommendations that will help reduce permitting timelines, ensure communities have input in the siting and permitting of clean energy infrastructure, and ensure that the benefits of a clean energy transition are shared equitably. The recommendations will provide an important resource to policy makers and state leadership in their work to implement the Commonwealth’s net zero goals.
This EBC “report-out” brings the Chair of Commission Michael Judge into the room to provide an overview of the Commission, its processes and work, as well as a review of the recommendations. Following Chair Judge’s overview, a panel of Commission members will discuss the recommendations in more detail and answer audience questions.
This is a “can’t miss” lunchtime program for anyone interested in the clean energy transition.
