Breaking Barriers – Energy Friendly Permitting (Summer Forum)

Breaking Barriers – Energy Friendly Permitting (Summer Forum)

Energy efficiency and electrification projects have become a focus across the state. Permitting is a necessary step to ensure we are meeting our goals, but is also a significant barrier.

In this virtual forum, we will have speakers share best practices and strategies for permitting processes, which may include transitioning to online permitting, virtual inspection, energy friendly permit programs, and more. Speakers will also address common challenges to permitting for electrification, e.g. setbacks, noise levels, panel sizing/utility pushback.

Join 3C-REN in identifying obstacles, solutions, and resources for our region through facilitated discussion.
