Clean energy is not just supported by environmentalists; American corporations are eager to procure clean energy and the Corporate Energy Buyers Association is there to help them do it. With a vibrant membership that includes the world’s largest companies advocating for market reforms that enable buyers to access clean power, CEBA is on the front lines of today’s energy sector. Today’s guest, Sarah Mihalecz, VP for Energy Transactions, leads CEBA’s efforts to prepare buyers, ready markets, and accelerate transactions that enable deployment of emerging clean energy technologies. Prior to joining CEBA, Sarah led sustainability for North America at Tata Sons. She previously advised Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and other organizations on sustainability strategy, emissions management, and environmental performance through roles at Deloitte Consulting, ICF Consulting, and GHD Consulting. She also served as Sustainability Coordinator at the World Bank.
If you’re new to CEBA or interested in the business case for clean energy systems, you won’t want to miss this episode. We talk about procurement, CSS, and the hot topic on the street, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, aka, the Senate permitting reform bill.
