SPEC’s Energy & Transportation Committee works to educate individuals, businesses, communities, and children about renewable energy, energy conservation and sustainable modes of transportation.
The Energy & Transportation (E&T) Committee meetings bring together individuals passionate about renewable energy, energy conservation, and sustainable transportation. Our meetings provide a welcoming space to explore and discuss topics that matter most to attendees, whether it’s the latest advancements, practical energy-saving techniques, or sustainable transit options. Whether you’re a seasoned professional in the field, a tech enthusiast, or someone just starting to learn about renewable energy, there’s a place for you at E&T—everyone is welcome!
