About VACES
Engaging the Leaders of Virginia's Energy Transformation
The Virginia Clean Energy Summit serves as a vital forum for presenting innovative clean energy technologies, policies, and business practices that are driving the transformation of Virginia's energy sector. Our main goal is to identify opportunities and foster collaboration that accelerates the adoption of: solar, wind, nuclear, energy storage, clean vehicles, energy efficiency, and other clean energy solutions.
Who will attend?
We are proud to bring together representatives from businesses, state and local governments, academia, and NGOs to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and explore new avenues for cooperation. By leveraging the diverse expertise of our attendees, we aim to collectively address challenges and seize opportunities in the clean energy sector.
The Virginia Clean Energy Summit is a Unique Collaboration of Prominent Clean Energy Groups Across the Commonwealth: The Virginia Alliance for Clean Energy (VACE), The Virginia Department of Energy, Virginia Energy Efficiency Council, Advanced Energy United, CHESSA.
Together, these partners share a common commitment to advancing clean energy and sustainability in Virginia. Through this collaboration, the Summit serves as a platform to drive innovation, support thoughtful policy development, and accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy system across the Commonwealth.
