Renewable Energy Teleconference Series

Renewable Energy Seminar & Teleconference Series

Overview

Welcome to the monthly Renewable Energy Seminar and Teleconference Series brought to you by the American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE) in collaboration with the Renewable Energy Resources Committee of the American Bar Association SEER Section & Renewable Energy Committee of the Energy Bar Association.

These monthly seminars provide an opportunity to network and discuss the subject matter with renewable energy lawyers, federal and state policy makers, and business experts. This year we have upgraded our series to a webinar format.

The programming is open to ACORE members, ABA members and all those involved in aspects of law, policy, business, or financing in the renewable energy or distributed generation fields.
