WRISE NYC’s Post

Our WRISE NYC chapter leaders had the pleasure of hosting an energizing Networking Breakfast to kick off #REFFNorthAmerica 2025 at the Metropolitan Club of New York 🗽 to close out a dynamic #NYClimateWeek. Co-facilitated by Meg Sprotte and Hadia Sheerazi, the morning session brought together a cross-section of industry leaders from around the world to dive into big questions — from #financing and securing #community buy-in, to #supplychain reshoring and #riskmanagement — sparking new ideas and collaborations over coffee and croissants. 📊 A live Slido poll revealed interesting insights: ☢️ Nuclear and 🔋Long-Duration Energy Storage tied for the #technologies expected to grow most in the next 3–5 years, while ⚖️ policy and regulatory uncertainty were identified as a significant barrier to scaling #renewables. Special shoutout to Shira Rosenblatt, Con Edison, Anna Shpitsberg, WattsNext Advisory and Trixie (Ligon) Blair, Greenbacker for sharing brilliant insights on panels focused on #financing grid connection and minimizing costs, #grid resilience and #cybersecurity, and the prognosis for the renewables sector. A heartfelt thank you to Penny Creed and the IJGlobal team for partnering with WRISE NYC to make this great session possible! We’re excited to welcome new members to Women of Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy (WRISE) and look forward to continuing the conversations at the #WRISE2025 Leadership Forum Forum in Atlanta, Georgia next week! #WRISE #REFFNA #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #NYClimateWeek #EnergyLeadership #EnergyFinance
