Turning Energy Data into Action
Golden, CO | April 3-4
Peer Learning Recap
The Turning Energy Data into Action: Advancing your Clean Energy Strategy workshop equipped cities with energy data, planning and decision-support tools to allow them to chart their renewable energy strategies, fill gaps in energy data and make data-driven decisions for their city and region. The workshop was held in partnership with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), bringing NREL tools and expertise to city leaders and offering cities the opportunity to shape current and future NREL tools.

This workshop was extremely useful for plugging cities into NREL’s resources and tools. City action is most powerful when it can be easily repeated/adopted by other cities, for impact at scale.
