Session Description



California is a national forerunner directing advancements in its rapidly growing $300 billion energy sector. The accelerating proliferation of electric vehicles in the state places electrification at the core of these developments. Undeniably, there's a need for Hispanic-led enterprises to bolster their influence in California's energy sector. This initiative provides essential insights to Hispanic business influencers across California, enhancing their capability to interact with energy regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders.
