Stephen Handy
Utah House of Representatives
I loved the energy (pun intended) and the enthusiasm from all participants and attendees. The innovation and creativity was palpable and the commitments to the transitions to new energy will propel this forward a lot faster than government mandates.

At Clearway, we are building a world powered by clean energy – and we need all kinds of partners to do it. Attending CLEANPOWER provides us with a targeted opportunity to make the connections and business deals we need to help us achieve our mission.
