Ann Arbor’s Sustainable Energy Utility
The City of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has consistently made national headlines by gaining public buy-in to set up a trailblazing, first-in-the-country Sustainable Energy Utility, which will bring clean, affordable energy to the City’s residents. For our second webinar, we dive into the details with the head of Ann Arbor’s new SEU Shoshannah Lenski to discuss how they got where they are, what they’ve learned, and what lessons Charlottesville can take in our own journey toward decarbonization.
