| 1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m. | Utility Acquisition of Renewable Energy Projects - Room 301A |
| Selling renewable power or fuel to an electrical utility requires a firm grasp of the contracting and regulatory requirements, integration challenges, and relevant policies in place to ensure fairness in the market and stability to the grid. This panel focuses on utility processes to acquire renewable energy from independent producers and strategies to integrate renewable energy into the grid with minimal impact on power reliability. Panelists from both the seller/producer and buyer/utility perspectives will discuss keys to a successful power or fuel off-take agreement and factors influencing the long-term relationship between a utility, independent power/fuel producers, and the ratepayers. | |

| As capital investments transcend national boundaries in search of the most innovative ideas and technologies, so too will human capital. Labor markets are no longer bound by geography, as businesses operate on global platforms that pursue the best talent available and as workers adopt more flexible work arrangements. Ambitious clean energy mandates around the world call on innovations in product design, development and delivery, but can our workforce keep pace with the technology? Are local communities developing the kind of workers that businesses need? Hear from a panel of experts representing varied perspectives on what green workforce development means for the state of Hawaii and beyond. (video) | |

| Measuring and Reporting Sustainability Achievements - Room 317A | |
| As states gain momentum in implementing clean energy policy, a periodically updated progress report is a critical component of measuring the progress toward clean energy goals. While not all progress is quantifiable or measurable, it is imperative that we identify and track meaningful indicators to measure how well we are meeting our goals. The panel brings together energy stakeholders to identify indicators to meet clean energy standards (in law, regulation, and policy); identifying data sets available and needed, including ongoing data collection, to measure clean energy goals; and publishing meaningful, understandable reports to let policymakers and the public know “how well we're doing.” | |
