Indiana is at a pivotal moment as rising energy demand, ambitious economic development goals, and growing utility-scale clean energy opportunities converge. Strategic investments in clean energy can help Indiana attract new industries, create good local jobs, generate significant local and state tax revenue, and strengthen communities — but realizing these opportunities will take thoughtful planning and collaboration.

This event will bring together state and local business and economic development leaders to discuss how Indiana can strategically harness clean energy investments to meet economic, industrial, and community goals — and address the challenge of meeting the state’s rising energy demand and what that looks like for your members.

Discussion topics include:

• Balancing siting and land use with economic priorities

• The unique advantages clean energy has for meeting energy demand growth and keeping utility rates lower

• Expanding grid capacity to meet business and industrial demand

• Streamlining permitting processes to unlock investment

• The role of local and regional leadership in shaping Indiana’s energy and economic future

Featured Presenters:

• David Ober, Senior Vice President, Business Operations & Finance, Indiana Chamber of Commerce

• Matt Kavgian, Executive Director, Indiana Economic Development Association

• Randy Strasser, President/CEO, White County Economic Development

• Richard Roach, Landowner

Join us to explore how clean energy can power Indiana’s growth and deliver lasting economic benefits for communities and businesses statewide.
