The 10th anniversary of Georgia Public Service Commissioner Tim Echols’ Clean Energy Roadshow concludes with the “Alternative Fuel Vehicle Showcase” in its new, COVID-friendly virtual webinar format at 1 p.m. on Thursday, November 5. Georgia Power’s Todd Allums will present on the future of vehicle electrification and how the company plans to electrify its own fleet from the Porsche Headquarters in Atlanta during the virtual event.
This event features live interactions with manufacturers and will show off the latest in high-tech alternative fuel vehicles, charging, and fueling systems. Those joining the webinar will get to see what’s new in electric, natural gas, and propane vehicles and what Georgia can expect in the next five years.
The first three Clean Energy Roadshow events of 2020, “How it Works,” “Funding Georgia Clean Energy Projects,” and “Renewable Energy Works in Georgia” were held in August and September. They were attended virtually by nearly 400 people. Free registration for Thursday’s event is available via this link: www.CleanEnergyRoadshow.
