Accelerate Philly Insights

As we look forward to the Smart Energy Decisions Renewable Energy Sourcing Forum in Ponte Vedra, Florida, June 15-17, let's take a look back at our most recent event, Accelerate Philly.

As our first city-specific event, Accelerate Philly brought together large electric power users from the 11-county Philadelphia region, including commercial, industrial, institutional and government sectors, along with suppliers and utilities.
