Monthly Forum: Renewables & Energy Storage – The Booming Energy Transition
Join GreenHomeNYC at this month’s Forum for in-person presentations with Q&A.
The energy transition is in full swing! With tailwinds in policy, financing, availability, public sentiment and more over the past several years, including a major boost from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the renewable energy and energy storage industries are making big things happen across the country including in and around New York City.
At this month’s Forum, we’ll hear from several local professionals from across the renewables and storage sectors on how they are helping move the transition forward.
Date: Wednesday, July 19th, 2023
Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM (Doors open at 6:15)
Location: Nixon Peabody LLP, 55 West 46th Street, #Tower 46, New York, NY, 10036
Light refreshments will be served. Stick around for networking afterwards!

Monthly Forum – On the Frontlines of Solar & Storage
The solar and energy storage industries are at an inflection point, where we have the chance to exponentially accelerate their growth or see them hampered by tariffs, import bans, and resilience concerns among other things. While those battles are fought on the policy front, the work on the ground to actually deliver, build and operate these systems is ongoing, with all of the challenges of the present moment being faced. At our Monthly Forum in October, join us to hear about what’s happening in the solar and energy storage industries out in the field and on the frontlines.
Date: Wednesday, October 20, 2021
Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
Place: Online

Monthly Forum: Community Solar, Energy Storage, and Beyond
In New York, solar energy still accounts for less than 2% of the state’s electricity generation. With the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act setting up the state to aim for highly ambitious clean energy targets in the coming years, there is a lot of work to be done in renewables generally, and solar energy specifically.
One area of solar that has gotten a lot of attention recently is community solar. Community solar allows residents, small businesses, organizations, municipalities and others to receive equal access to the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy generation, without having to install solar directly on their property or even own it. And, as renewable power sources like community solar provide a larger portion of New York’s electricity, concerns rise about having that power be available when and where it is most needed. This is where energy storage technologies start to come in and play a larger role, not only helping to smooth out the intermittent generation of renewables, but also making the electric grid more stable as well as cleaner.
At GreenHomeNYC’s Monthly Forum in August, we’re bringing in several renewable energy professionals to discuss what is happening in community solar and energy storage in New York, with a focus on actual projects being done, and how they are helping move the needle on renewables and clean energy in the state.

Monthly Forum: Building a Resilient Future
Enormous problems of the future are making their way into the present-day at an accelerating rate. From aging infrastructure failures to climate-related catastrophes, from significant human population shifts to energy supply interruptions and more, we collectively face the daunting task of keeping up with the myriad changes happening all around us.
Adaptability will be critical in order for future generations to thrive. But what are we doing in order to achieve that? What projects, technologies and policies are advancing that effort? What is happening on the ground and out in the field to help us build that resilient future? We will be exploring these questions and more in our upcoming Monthly Forum!
Join GreenHomeNYC on May 15th to hear from professionals on the front lines of developing a more resilient physical infrastructure for our communities, and learn about the impact their efforts have in creating a more sustainable future for NYC and beyond!
Date: Wednesday, May 15th, 2019
Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
Place: Fujitsu Airstage, 1450 Broadway, 42nd floor, New York, NY 10018
