Demonstrating Global Clean Energy Leadership at COP29
Demonstrating Global Clean Energy Leadership at COP29
Last month, leaders from around the world gathered in Baku, Azerbaijan, for the U.N. Climate Change Conference, or COP29. EEI’s delegation, which included Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, and several other member company executives, participated in four official side events highlighting the industry’s clean energy leadership and our efforts to partner with key stakeholders.
EEI, in partnership with EPRI and the Nuclear Energy Institute, held an event on how energy companies are navigating the challenges of meeting carbon emissions reduction goals while maintaining affordability and reliability in the face of rapidly rising demand for electricity.
When delivering a keynote during this event, Pizarro highlighted the importance of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act in driving clean energy investments and in providing tax credits for customers. Pizarro called the legislation a “great tool in the United States,” saying it “helped stimulate the development of [clean energy resources] and brought down the cost to customers as an end-result.”
