VECAN Conference 2024

December 3 @ 8:30 am - December 6 @ 12:30 pm

On December 3rd , VECAN launches its annual Community Energy & Climate Action Conference by co-hosting an in-person Post Election Gathering with the Energy Action Network! This day-long event is a great opportunity for community energy leaders to get grounded in the state-of-the-state when it comes to energy and climate action in Vermont.  Hear from state leaders including state lawmakers, Treasurer Mike Pieciak, Public Utility Commission Chair Ed McNamara, Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Julie Moore, and State Director for Senator Welch’s office Rebecca Ellis. The day will offer the chance to discuss priorities and engage in conversation about new and emerging opportunities and challenges at the federal and state levels. A light breakfast and yummy lunch will also be provided.

A limited number of deeply discounted tickets – $40 – are available to community energy committee leaders in the VECAN network. Find out more here and also reach out to [email protected] to find out how to access the VECAN discount rate.

Please also mark your calendar for a series of ensuing virtual workshops as part of this annual event – from noon-1:30 on December 4th , 5th and 6th .

We will be doing deep dives into climate resilience strategies, pollution-reduction opportunities, federal efficiency programs,  and wrap the week on December 6th with a peer-to-peer town energy committee success story showcase and virtual breakouts.

As always, many thanks to our VECAN partners, including co-host EAN, and to the many generous sponsors who make opportunities like this possible – and affordable.
