In the spring of 2013, the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) released a report with support from the Energy Foundation, The Solar Foundation, and the Wind Energy Foundation. Understanding Renewable Energy Businesses: Aligning Renewable Energy Firms and Economic Developers provides economic development officers valuable insight into which policies and incentives renewable energy firms deem the most important to their sustained growth. This report is designed as a complement to IEDC’s 2011 Powering Up report, which surveyed economic developers on their strategies for supporting the renewable energy industries.
