Dear Advanced Energy Professional,

This Thanksgiving more than ever, we at AEE give thanks for all of you – advanced energy business leaders, workers, and advocates – who are working to make the United States an advanced energy economy. In addition to our thanks, we offer some webinars and podcasts you can catch up on over the holiday weekend – and remind you of some you won't want to miss! 

• First, listen in as AEE experts, business leaders, and policymakers discuss how the western grid is moving toward 100% clean energy in our three-part virtual conference Advanced Energy Now | West Online: Taming the Wild West. 
  
  
  
  • Session 1: How an Expanded Wholesale Market Can Make the Western Grid Clean and Resilient - Western states are charting a course to rapidly transition the region’s electricity system and transportation sector to 100% clean energy through a combination of aggressive state energy and transportation policies and voluntary utility and large customer commitments.

  • Session 2: How 100% Clean Energy in Arizona can Contribute to a Clean and Resilient Western Grid - Learn how dynamic interaction between utility and company leaders is moving the western grid toward 100% clean energy.

Once Thanksgiving is behind us, the end of the year will be approaching fast, and it will be time to take stock on an exhausting 2020 and clear our heads for 2021. So join us for our annual Year in Review webinar:

In this webinar, hear from AEE experts on a year we’ll never forget: 

• FERC issued orders and policies that helped (and sometimes hurt) advanced energy in wholesale markets
• New states set their sights on 100% clean energy and transportation
• A record-setting national election that changed the political landscape in some ways, and in some ways not

Until then, from all of us at AEE: Happy Thanksgiving!
