Nest is relatively new to Kansas although we have been selling through retail stores there for some time. We joined CEBC to learn more about the market for energy efficiency in Kansas and to partner up with like-minded clean energy companies.

Kansas has the potential to be a national leader in energy efficiency, and the Clean Energy Business Council has the track record of collaboration to make this vision a reality that benefits all Kansans.

Now is the time to advance renewable energy policies and grow the Kansas economy. The Clean Energy Business Council is the perfect platform to work with all stakeholders in the energy sector to discuss and solidify the best path forward for all Kansans.

United Wind sees a tremendous opportunity in Kansas for distributed wind and believes its WindLease product will catalyze this market for rural and agricultural communities. Fundamentally, Kansas has a constant and sustaining wind resource that blows through its large expanses of open land, which to date, has not been taken advantage of at the local level.

We are at a unique moment in time when efficiency and renewables companies can help grow the Kansas economy and deliver benefits to consumers throughout the state. The CEBC is the go-to voice for the clean energy economy in Kansas and will ensure that our companies are well positioned to be an engine for economic growth.

To remain competitive and meet sustainability goals, it is paramount that Kansas businesses and communities have innovative and economically-viable, clean energy choices. To that end, PROSOCO is excited to partner with the Clean Energy Business Council to help advance renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency. CEBC is a great member-driven effort that is focused on collaboration and business growth in Kansas.
