While all this spells opportunity, it also produces the need to take stock of what’s happening, gauge how the basic tenets of sustainable solutions have changed, and sort through the current environment in order to move forward with a clear eye on the future.
This white paper, put together by the sustainability team at NRG Energy and spearheaded by Sustainability Specialist Dylan Siegler, provides a concise yet wide-ranging overview of the current state of sustainability.

– Barriers, opportunities and best practices
– Next generation sustainable power technologies to watch
By presenting an objective industry-wide view of what’s working and what’s emerging, city leaders will be armed with a realistic sense of what’s possible as they look ahead to, plan for and implement sustainable solutions for their communities.
