Action by Congress in December to pass a multi-year extension of the renewable energy tax credits paves the way for accelerated investment and deployment over the next few years. Just two weeks earlier, 195 nations at the COP21 meetings in Paris reached agreement on an unprecedented global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Taken together, these developments are a source of immense promise for the future of renewable energy in the U.S. and around the world. This webinar will discuss the “reset” of U.S. renewable energy policy and additional considerations to support the transition to a low-carbon energy economy.
