The spotlight has never shined brighter on clean energy project siting and permitting.
While clean energy projects are pouring into the pipeline, the industry is experiencing unprecedented delays across the country.
Getting projects off the ground is becoming more and more challenging. At ACP’s expanded Siting & Permitting Conference, previously known as the Siting & Environmental Compliance Conference, industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders convene to collaborate on challenges, best practices and solutions.
ACP’s 2026 Siting & Permitting Conference will be hosted in Aurora, CO from March 30 – April 1 at the Gaylord Rockies.
