Clean Power 2021 | American Clean Power Association | 7 December 2021 | Salt Palace Convention Center, 100 S W Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101, USA

CLEANPOWER puts you at the table and helps you get results that can grow your business and our industry, and prepare for more opportunities in the future. This expanded and targeted business development event will help your company reach new heights.

The first in-person CLEANPOWER event will bring together the most knowledgeable minds in the clean energy industry and create a collaborative platform for discussing issues that are important to industry professionals and their companies.

CLEANPOWER’s mission is to not only bring together the different technologies that make up the renewables mix; onshore wind, offshore wind, solar, storage, and transmission but also the different segments within the industries; manufacturers, construction firms, owner operators, utilities, financial firms, corporate buyers and more.

Discover the latest, most innovative products, services and technologies coming to the industry at what will be the most anticipated in-person clean energy trade show in years. In addition to the in-person components, once registered you’ll also have access to all the education and matchmaking from the June Virtual Summit.
