Join us as we continue this important conversation on building a resilient, affordable, and reliable energy future for all.
As part of a new four-part energy forum series, MORPC is bringing together Central Ohio’s top energy, regulatory, and economic development experts to help local governments and community leaders navigate the region’s evolving energy landscape.
Planning Energy Resilience for a High-Demand Future
As Central Ohio experiences unprecedented growth in energy demand, communities must begin planning now to navigate a rapidly changing energy landscape. This workshop—Planning Energy Resilience for a High-Demand Future—will help local officials, planners, and stakeholders understand the impacts of large-scale energy users like data centers and industrial energy parks and explore how energy production and consumption intersect with land use. Participants will gain practical tools to integrate energy considerations into local plans, with a focus on zoning, economic development, and public engagement. The session will also introduce Ohio’s groundbreaking HB 15 industrial microgrid framework and discuss strategies to align energy resilience with economic opportunity. Don’t miss this chance to prepare your community for a more resilient, energy-smart, and prosperous future.
Stay tuned for future sessions in this series designed to empower communities with tools for smarter energy planning.
