The RESP Municipal Working Group enables state and local planners to come together and discuss renewable energy opportunities and challenges specific to their field. The group reviews RESP documents, provides input and technical expertise to the process, and also gains new knowledge about the industry through presentations from experts, as well as insights into the lessons learned by other cities and towns. One of the key benefits of the working group is that it provides a support network to planning professionals who are directly involved in evaluating community efforts regarding the potential introduction of renewable energy facilities and infrastructure.
