The key role of large-scale solar in supporting Arizona’s growth

Did you know that Arizona farmers, ranchers, and private landowners earned over $35M from renewable energy projects in 2023?

Join Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) and Arizona Forward to discuss how large-scale solar projects are helping meet the state’s growing demand for energy and the economic opportunities available for your community.

As nationwide energy needs increase, chambers and economic development organizations can play a pivotal role in supporting policies that both enhance grid reliability and bolster business.

This session will provide an update on Arizona’s energy landscape and the crucial role of large-scale solar projects in meeting this demand with reliable, clean energy while bringing transformational economic development opportunities to the state.

Panelists include:

  • Rebecca Kelly, VP, Development, Longroad Energy

  • Heidi Ratz, Deputy Director, Market & Policy Innovation, Clean Energy Buyers Association

  • Justin Peterson, Senior Vice President of Operations, McCarthy Building Companies 

  • Kelsey Pepitone (Moderator), Clean Energy Outreach Manager, Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy

We look forward to your participation as we learn more about the expectations of the business community for clean and reliable power and explore the economic opportunities arising from solar projects.

Contact Anne Feldhusen with any questions.
