In 2022\, SEEA inherited the Southeast Energy Insecurity Project (SEIP) from the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University. Products of this project have included the publication of the Stakeholder Recommendations for Addressing Energy Insecurity in the Southeast with input from over eighty diverse stakeholder groups\, the development of a leadership forum composed of subject matter experts\, a webinar series to share best practices for reducing energy insecurity\, and a series of mini-grants to support energy equity initiatives across the region. \nJoin us for the opportunity to be part of Phase Two of this project\, the kickoff of working groups intended to revise\, upgrade\, and turn recommended solutions into actionable goals to reduce energy insecurity in the South. There are three possible working groups to engage with\, those focused on Awareness and Community Engagement\, Data Access and Improvement\, and Utility Solutions. We are eager to engage experts or those with a keen interest in supporting solutions such as developing a user friendly one-stop shop for eligible programs\, providing centralized applications for aid\, building educational awareness campaigns\, developing “data dictionaries”\, establish data sharing platforms\, including community participation in energy equity data\, implementing inclusive energy efficiency utility investments\, expanding non-energy benefits\, and pursuing energy efficiency and peak demand reduction. By bringing together experts across fields and the region to implement solutions to reduce energy insecurity\, we hope to create a more equitable energy future for all people together. \n  \nRegister today >> URL:https://www.seealliance.org/event/prioritizing-equity-in-energy-energy-insecurity-working-groups-kickoff/ LOCATION:Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.seealliance.org/wp-content/uploads/photo-bkgd-8-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240226 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240227 DTSTAMP:20261009T193053 CREATED:20240110T131337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240110T131337Z UID:7975-1708905600-1708991999@www.seealliance.org SUMMARY:GridTECH Connect Forum Southeast DESCRIPTION:GridTECH Connect Forum is your gateway to a transformative experience\, redefining how you collaborate on Distributed Energy Resources (DER) integration. \nWith tailor-made content for the Southeast\, spanning solar power to battery storage\, electric vehicles to microgrids\, and all that lies in between\, GridTECH Connect Forum assembles a diverse community of utilities\, developers\, regulators\, and solutions providers to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that ensures meaningful and transformative conversations take place. \nWe invite you to be a part of this groundbreaking initiative\, where knowledge sharing\, problem-solving\, and networking take center stage. \nJoin us in Orlando\, FL on February 26\, 2024\, at the Orange County Convention Center and take 20% off your registration with code GTCPART5. \nLearn more.
