The Renewable Energy team strives to reduce carbon emissions, prevent environmental degradation, create economic opportunity, and equitably engage stakeholders to achieve community co-benefits. We use our skills in facilitation, policy, research, technical assistance, and deliberate collaboration to create the social and market conditions for accelerated renewable energy deployment that achieves national, state, and local decarbonization goals. We work with all levels of government, businesses, universities, and other nonprofit organizations to decarbonize the power sector and, by extension, the transportation and building sectors. Our goal is to remove barriers to accelerated renewable deployment by:
