2021 Events:
MREA is continually discussing the viability of events in 2021 including,
Rise Up Midwest!
Let’s work together to stimulate “Main Street” energy investment and modernize our electricity systems in response to the COVID-19 recession. The energy efficiency and distributed energy industries have the capacity to rapidly expand services and increase employment opportunities in communities across the region. To do this, state and local leadership across the Midwest must expand programs and advance policies that provide business opportunity and create market stability. Led by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association, Rise Up is a coalition of businesses, individuals, organizations, jurisdictions, and workforce development partners working in coordination to create a groundswell of support for commonsense, strategic, and swift policy action and market development.
