General Sessions
Bringing New Light to LightingAs regulatory changes to long-standing policies such as EISA emphasize the importance of agility in our industry, many utilities are looking for a place to turn — and according to the latest data, midstream and market transformation could be the most promising options out there. Speakers will describe what this transition looks like in practice during this session on an increasingly relevant topic.

Speakers: Hiromi Kelty, City of Palo Alto | James Russell, CLEAResult | GHG Management in the Public SectorCLEAResult works with a variety of public sector customers to help meet their climate goals through energy management. In this session we will look at real-world examples of public sector customers who are reducing their emissions using a structured approach to energy management. By applying a holistic approach to GHG reduction, these organization engage their employees and broaden their skillsets while fostering a culture of forward-thinking solutions and a real focus on reducing GHG emissions. Despite many competing priorities in the public sector, especially during times of disruption like we have seen over the last year, these organizations remained committed to their GHG reduction goals and found success.
