Solar Austin Happy Hour: Austin Energy’s Generation Plan

You are cordially invited to join the Austin solar community for a discussion on the Austin Energy Resource, Generation, and Climate Protection Plan to 2020.

This event will welcome Matt Johnson who will share insights and perspective into the development and adoption of the Austin Energy Resource, Generation, and Climate Protection Plan through 2020, including points on revising resource acquisition and management strategies in light of up to date market and environmental realities.  

We will also welcome a Solar Austin representative to the Happy Hour stage to offer an environmental community perspective on the issue.  

Matthew Johnson is a Sr. Account Executive at the cleantech communications and consulting firm Mercom Capital Group. Prior to Mercom, Matt worked for Public Citizen’s Texas Office and the D.C.-based Environmental and Energy Study Institute. In 2009, he was selected to represent consumer interests on the Austin Generation Resource Planning Task Force, and organized the Clean Energy for Austin Coalition, which supported city council passing the Resource and Climate Protection Plan in 2010. He holds an MA in Sustainable Development from the SIT Graduate Institute and a BA in History from Augustana College.
