As world leaders gather at #COP29 to accelerate #climateaction, the urgency of the clean #energytransition has never been clearer. The race for renewable energy sites is intensifying, with rising land prices and permitting challenges creating barriers for smaller developers and community-driven projects. These obstacles must be addressed to ensure an equitable, scalable energy future. At Paces, we’re joining the global conversation on climate change and sustainability, supporting amazing leaders like Eamon Riley (Aypa Power) driving progress, and the clean energy community in making these vital transitions possible.
