Communities, and the energy industry are moving beyond simply generating electricity, instead, using the need for new generation to invest in meaningful, lasting benefits that reduce carbon emissions, increase resilience, and bolster reliability for local communities. During this session, panelists will share successful examples of how to win initial community support and sustain engagement to implement innovative community benefit models. Attendees will learn more than just why community engagement is important – they will hear specific examples of how to produce community benefits that actually resonate.
