We will host two presenters, Hans Reimer, Senior consultant and state and local outreach lead at DOE’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) and Brian Anderson, Executive Director, The Interagency Working Group (IWG) on Coal and Power Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization. These presentations will focus on available federal programs and potential partnership opportunities for states interested in energy finance.
