Greetings!
This month we are highlighting
a few stories about the role that energy storage plays in our renewable energy transition. In recognition of Veterans Day, we share
an article about how Veterans make up a disproportionate segment of the clean (or advanced) energy workforce compared to their presence in the overall economy. Finally, we are re-broadcasting the excellent work of network member Efficiency Vermont through their
2019 Energy Burden report .
Also in this issue is a request for network members and partners to submit Action Profiles for our 2019 Annual Progress Report. The goal of these brief profiles is to tell the story of a project, initiative, or partnership that is helping VT meet our energy and emissions reduction commitments. We look forward to hearing about your work!
Lastly, as you may know, we have postponed the Leveraging Change Speaker Series event on the Global Warming Solutions Act, originally scheduled for this evening in Montpelier. We have identified speakers from surrounding states that have adopted the act and are working to re-schedule. The event will likely take place in January so that legislators interested in learning from the experiences of our neighbors will be able to attend.
Best,
The EAN Team

Highlight Your Work in the the 2019 Annual Progress Report!
For our 2019 Annual Progress Report, we are replacing the “Member Profiles” with
“Action Profiles.” The goal of these brief profiles is to tell the story of a project, initiative, or partnership that is helping VT meet our energy and emissions commitments. The ideal profile involves a partnership between multiple Network members, can be described clearly in 200 words or less, has an eye catching data point (e.g. # of homes weatherized, $ saved, electricity generated, people served, vehicle miles traveled reduced, etc.), and has a beautiful, high-resolution photo to accompany it!
