Renewable Energy and Sustainability Panel Discussion

The Urban Land Institute (ULI Utah) and Utah's Office of Energy Development announces a dynamic panel discussion of influential women leading the way in renewable energy and sustainability in Utah. The event, moderated by Thom Carter, Energy Advisor to the Governor and Executive Director of the Utah Office of Energy Development, will be held on September 9, 2021 at 11:30 AM at the newly built Jacobsen Construction Headquarters in Salt Lake City.

Panelists to date consist of:

• Dr. Laura Nelson, Advisor to the Green Hydrogen Coalition
• Emily Cloke, United Kingdom Consul General in Los Angeles, representing the US Southwest
• Candyce Fly Lee, Williams Companies
• Ibi Guevera, Hunt Electric
• Teri Klug, Virtual Power Systems

The panelists come from different energy sectors, each with their own unique perspectives. The panelists are "enHERgizing," so to speak, the growing renewable energy space in Utah. According to a recent study, Utah ranks among the top ten states with the largest growth in renewable energy production. In fact, Utah seeks to have 20% of the electricity sold to state consumers generated from renewable sources by 2025. With solar leading the way, our state has seen great strides in the areas of hydropower, wind, geothermal, biomass, and hydrogen.
