W 6/24 12 pm - PA DEP energy transition program and GridNav to model projects

[Bill Sabey]

Calling all EAC members, clean energy and solar advocates,

What does it take to move a community energy project from idea to action? Join us on Wednesday, June 24, at 12:00 PM ET for a free webinar on the tools and programs helping Pennsylvania communities plan their energy future.

 

We will open with Chris Nafe of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, who will share a brief overview of DEP’s Community Energy Development (CED) program — a state initiative that helps local governments develop actionable energy transition plans, pursue community energy aggregation, and build locally based renewable generation — and the potential for future offerings of the program.

 

Then the team at ProtoGen, the technical consultant supporting the CED program, will demonstrate GridNav, an easy-to-use energy modeling platform for exploring, scoping, and financially modeling community energy projects. Everyone who attends will receive free access to GridNav through December 31, 2026.

 

Our goal is simple: equip volunteers with the tools to help their communities identify and organize energy projects. Projects scoped now can be well-positioned for advancement through the CED program or other state and federal opportunities as they become available.
