After months of navigating a stop-and-start legislative progress, the passage of the IRA represents a major win for clean energy. With this milestone legislation now officially law, clean energy advocates must consider how we can best build upon the achievements of the IRA to sustain long-term growth. This panel will include a discussion of the IRA and provide an update on where the political landscape is headed with the mid-term elections just around the corner. During this session, lobbying and advocacy experts will educate the industry on how to navigate politics and public affairs to continue to achieve critical policy wins. Speakers will also highlight how industry stakeholders can get involved to ensure that federal policies work for your company.
