Advanced Energy Group (AEG) is a quarterly, competitive stakeholder engagement platform sponsored by over 50 public/private organizations and leaders committed to delivering pledged clean energy and equity goals of select cities and vulnerable regions. Our sponsors and leaders understand that decarbonization goals mean more than numbers and metric tonnes. Achieving climate, health and equity goals means saving lives, social justice, avoiding economic hardship and physical suffering. The AEG Stakeholder Challenge is a 3-part competition run quarterly in Boston, Chicago, New York and Washington D.C. and annually for the Caribbean. AEG facilitates constructive collaboration to: 1) understand and prioritize critical obstacles blocking the clean energy transformation and social equity. 2) develop 12 month solutions with quarterly milestones for accountability to best overcome these obstacles. 3) deliver breakthrough results via cross-sector, volunteer task forces.
