SHARE INFORMATION & RESOURCES

PROVIDE VALUE TO YOUR MEMBERS

Along with the booming clean energy economy comes an overwhelming amount of information on new incentives, technology, and industry developments.

Chambers of commerce can play a pivotal role in providing educational and practical resources to help their members harness the benefits of clean energy.

  • Partner with industry experts or clean energy advocates to host briefings, workshops, or other informative events that cover the latest advancements in renewable energy technologies, government incentives, or sustainable business practices.

  • Create or share a go-to resource for members seeking comprehensive information. 

  • Facilitate access to financial resources, such as grants, loans, and tax credits, which can significantly reduce the cost of adopting clean energy solutions.

  • Highlight success stories or available opportunities via a dedicated page on your website, social media, or a newsletter.

  • Share content from CICE’s clean energy policy and issue resource library, tailored to chamber and economic development audiences.

By equipping businesses with the knowledge and tools needed to transition to clean energy, chambers help their members reduce operating costs and foster a more sustainable and resilient regional economy.
