Energizing Economies
Turning Clean Energy Into Local Prosperity
Energizing Economies is a national campaign by Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) that partners with chambers and economic development organizations, at no cost, to foster education, build community trust, and drive strategic business support for utility-scale solar, wind, and storage projects.
Clean energy development is economic opportunity.
Utility-scale clean energy projects spark transformational investment by creating jobs, generating significant new local tax revenue, and fueling demand for local goods and services. As trusted community leaders, chambers and economic development organizations are key to turning that opportunity into reality.
How Energizing Economies Can Support Your Chamber
Co-hosted events that connect member businesses directly with project realities
Tailored fact sheets and talking points that address community-specific priorities
Timely webinars delivering state and regional insights on policy and market intelligence
Board-level briefings that position chambers as proactive leaders
Recognition and amplification of chamber leadership through CICE’s national network
Peer mentorship from chambers that have guided their communities through similar scenarios
Take a Deep Dive
“It was our pleasure to host two members-only educational solar luncheons with Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy. At the time, we were hearing a lot of opposition around solar in our community. We felt an obligation to our members to provide education from professionals. After the event, we received only positivity and thanks! We even scheduled another event due to its success and reception.”
