About the CouncilThe New England Clean Energy Council’s mission is to accelerate New England’s clean energy economy to global leadership by building an active community of stakeholders and a world-class cluster of clean energy companies. The Council represents close to 400 member and a!liate member organizations, including clean energy companies, venture investors, major financial institutions, universities, industry associations, utilities, labor and large commercial end-users. The Council's ranks now include clean energy CEOs, representatives from most of the region's top 10 law firms, and partners from most of the top New England venture capital firms (with a total of over $8 billion under management). Working with its stakeholders, the Council develops and executes a wide array of programs in six key focus areas: Innovation, Growth, Education & Workforce Development, Adoption, Policy & Advocacy, and Research.

The Council believes that our future depends upon a foundation of sound regional, national, and global energy policy that encourages clean energy innovation and technology commercialization. With such a foundation in place, it is the Council's goal to help the New England region, with its considerable innovation assets, leverage the power of free markets to become a leading provider of clean energy solutions to the global marketplace. The Council firmly believes that this emerging sector can and will become a powerful economic engine for New England, capable of generating tens of thousands of new jobs in the coming decade and beyond.

Thank you to our Council Sponsors for their continued generosity and support.

November 2, 2011

Welcome to the Clean Energy Council’s 4th Annual Green Tie Gala.

2011 has been a year of growth and challenge for the clean energy industry. The Council has collaborated with The Brookings Institution and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center on new reports that show how clean energy companies have continued to add jobs faster than the general economy across all of the New England states. These reports demonstrate that each state and the region overall has shown growth that leverages a broad range of regional strengths.

At the same time we’ve seen our industries come under increased political and media attacks, questioning the value of public sector support, our contribution to job creation and economic growth. We’re proud of the e!orts and success many of our companies and partners are having in these di"cult economic times, and we know we will have a strong impact as we work ever harder and together to educate and demonstrate the real results and contributions our companies and industries are making to the competitiveness of New England and the U.S. economy.

We need to remind ourselves that just a few short years ago energy wasn’t an entrepreneurial industry and new inventions languished for decades in labs and R&D. Here in New England, our sister organization, the New England Clean Energy Foundation (NECEF), is helping to bring about an unprecedented collaboration among the 6 states, the private sector, and the world-class community of energy innovators in our universities, companies, labs and garages.

So at this year’s Green Tie Gala, we reiterate that the action continues to be in the states, and we are thrilled to have Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy with us as we applaud that state’s recently enacted legislation, new ideas and a strong government team to help grow this sector.

Looking ahead to 2012, the Clean Energy Council is growing our team, our programs, our policy e!orts, and our involvement in each of the New England states. We’re also building out new partnerships with our regional counterparts across the country to join forces at the national level.

Thank you to our Gala sponsors, Deloitte, William Gallagher Associates, Polachi, GT Advanced Technologies, the Connecticut Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority, and to our partnership with Global Clean Energy Week Host, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. We couldn’t do what we do as a community without your support and without everyone’s contributions to help make this region a world-class cleantech cluster and the U.S. clean energy industry a global leader.

Enjoy the evening.

2011 NECEC & NECEF SIGNATURE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Leading Clean Energy Ventures, Executive Certificate ProgramIn 2011, the Council partnered with the Boston University School of Management to o!er an Executive Certificate in Leading Clean Energy Ventures. The course, which evolved out of the Council’s signature Fellowship program, featured in-person and remote learning opportunities, a capstone project, and connection to Council Members and Sponsors through networking events, site tours, and mentoring opportunities. The first class of twenty Leading Clean Energy Ventures Fellows graduated in late April. The Council and Boston University will o!er the certificate again starting in early 2012.

U-Launch In late 2010 the U-Launch program was announced as a new, grant-based award program to accelerate the spinout and commercialization of clean energy technologies throughout New England. The program is a partnership between the Council, Fraunhofer Techbridge, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, and the Association of Cleantech Incubators of New England, and is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Innovation Ecosystem Development Initiative. U-Launch made its first round of awards in March, and in October made a series of further awards to Cleantech Open Regional finalists. In total, 12 companies have received U-Launch awards.

EIR ServicesRecognizing that many lab projects and pre-funded cleantech companies are in need of executive, strategic help and that the Council has a unique community of Fellowship alumnae and other subject matter experts, we created an Executive-in-Residence Program to match experienced cleantech executives with early stage projects. These EIR Services are a core ingredient of the U-Launch program (above), under which EIR’s are provided modest stipends to help develop and advance business strategies, plans and relationships for early-stage cleantech innovations.

US Department of Commerce i6 Green AwardOver the summer, the New England Clean Energy Foundation, the Council’s 501c3 sister organization, submitted a proposal for the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration’s “i6 Green Challenge”, a program which rewards communities that utilize a Proof of Concept Center model, such as that championed by the Deshpande Center, to accelerate technology led economic development in pursuit of a vibrant, innovative clean economy. NECEF’s Cleantech Innovations New England proposal included participation from all 6 New England states and more than 40 innovation partners representing the cutting edge of New England’s emerging clean energy cluster, including universities, utilities, investors, innovation collaborators and other not-for-profits. In September, NECEF was awarded $1.175M for the i6 Green Challenge and will be launching the program in early November.

Third Annual Washington, D.C. Fly-inIn July, the Council and the Clean Economy Network partnered to bring more than 60 New England executives and investors to D.C. along with 40 counterparts from across the country for a series of meetings with legislators, executive agencies, think tanks, and more. Fly-in participants joined The Brookings Institution for the release of their highly anticipated report, (Sizing the Clean Economy). In sessions on Capitol Hill and with the Department of Energy and the Department of Commerce, participants conveyed stories of the tenuous but substantial growth of clean energy around the country. Conversations from the Fly-in forged ongoing relationships and has already led to follow-on in-district events. The Fly-in was sponsored in part by Council Sponsor Foley Hoag.

Federal Policy AdvocacyDespite lowered expectations for significant progress in DC, the Council continued to educate and advocate aggressively for clean energy policies at the federal level in 2011. In visits to DC and consistent communications, the Council has worked hard over budget items a!ecting innovation programs, such as DOE’s ARPA-E and regional innovation initiatives, continued DOE funding for Energy E"ciency and Renewable Energy R&D, and voiced its strong support for crucial incentive and tax packages as well as creative scale-up and development financing models. These e!orts have engaged many Council members and a growing set of strategic industry partners from other regions and in DC.

RGGI Clean Energy ProjectFunded by a grant from the Energy Foundation, the RGGI Clean Energy Project aimed to study, learn from, and engage the private sector in strengthening RGGI (Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative) and other successful energy and climate programs across New England. The project educated business leaders, policymakers and the public through media and research, and successfully engaged businesses to support RGGI’s continued e!ectiveness with a particular emphasis on New Hampshire.

State Policy AdvocacyThe Council has expanded its policy and advocacy e!orts across all 6 New England states in 2011, with plans to continue to increase e!orts moving forward. At the regional and state level, the Council successfully mobilized in-state business community awareness and interest in having their states remain in RGGI. The Council has been active in promoting expanded renewable energy standards, wind siting reform, advanced biomass regulations, improvements in energy e"ciency programs, and other measures. The Council has also increased its presence in hearings and legislative reviews on Green Communities, long-term contracting, net-metering, and a range of other state policies that impact cost-e!ective adoption and growth of clean energy across New England.

Smart Grid RoundtableSince December 2010, the Council has organized a series of roundtable discussions to examine New England’s technical, policy, and integration strengths and challenges around the developing electric grid. Roundtable participants have included utilities, smart grid companies, investors, policymakers, and regulators. Results of the roundtables are being developed into policy and education recommendations for 2012. The Council has convened roundtable discussions on Integration and Distribution, and Grid-Scale Energy Storage, and is planning expanded Segment Development and Roundtables e!orts in 2012.

A!liates in Maine and ConnecticutIn March, the Council announced two a"liate relationships with organizations in Maine and Connecticut. In Maine, the partnership with the Energy Technology Council of Maine (E2Tech) has already led to multiple events, including an introductory session on cleantech venture capital for Maine entrepreneurs. In Connecticut, the relationship with the Renewable Energy and E"ciency Business Association (REEBA) was kicked o! with a joint event keynoted by Dan Esty, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

National Network of Clean Energy Councils in FormationThe Council is part of a major new e!ort to be announced shortly, to build, support and connect#regional clean energy councils across all of the states. #This organization will help connect our companies, support collaboration to grow the industry and leverage regional strengths, and establish a strong clean energy business voice nationally. #Details will be announced later in 2011 and early 2012.

Massachusetts Clean Energy Summer Internship Opportunity ProgramThe Massachusetts Clean Energy Internship Opportunity is a workforce development initiative o!ered through the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, in partnership with the Council, that focuses on enhancing the talent pipeline for Massachusetts companies engaged in the clean energy industry. In its first year, the program supported over 100 competitively selected, paid college interns at 70 di!erent clean energy companies in Massachusetts, making it the largest program of its kind in the United States.

Thank you to our Partner, Global Clean Energy Week host:

Finance SeriesIn 2011, the Council continued to explore topics in clean energy finance through its popular Finance Series which included panels entitled “Getting A Grasp On Customer Finance” and “Financing Innovative Clean Energy Technologies.” These events were sponsored by Goodwin Procter, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Silicon Valley Bank, and Bingham McCutchen, and included many experts from across our community. The Council’s third Finance Series event of the year will be on December 13th, sponsored by Choate Hall Stewart and Grant Thornton, and will focus on cleantech companies receiving funding from large strategic investors.

Massachusetts and Vermont Online Clean Energy Education DirectoryLast year, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center contracted with Northeast Energy E"ciency Partnerships (NEEP) and the Council to develop a comprehensive online directory (www.cleanenergyeducation.org) of all clean energy education and training programs in Massachusetts. Launched in early 2011, the site provides information on post-doctoral education, master’s and undergraduate degrees, community college programs, community-based initiatives, vocational-technical schools, and connects students with educational programs, and employers with schools producing talented new graduates. Earlier this fall, NEEP and the Council signed a contract with the State of Vermont to create a Vermont version of the online directory, slated for launch in January 2012. Energy Leaders ForumIn April, the Council launched the online “Energy Leaders Forum” with local business journal Mass High Tech. The Forum features weekly contributions by clean energy business leaders on pressing issues facing the sector, and then engages contributors and readers in conversation on that topic. The Forum has been well received by Mass High Tech readers and has helped highlight both the successes and challenges in clean energy for the broader business community.

Member ServicesThis year the Council launched a new Member Services program, designed to help Members – particularly startups – access various resources at reduced cost. The Council has formed strategic partnerships on behalf of its membership with the#Massachusetts Biotechnology Council and#William Gallagher Associates#to o!er a new suite of member services o!erings including access to the MassBio Purchasing Consortium, and to insurance and benefits administration and discounts.#

Clean Energy Council BlogIn March, the Council expanded its web and social media presence by launching a blog and expanding its social media presence via Twitter (@NECEC). The blog has featured posts from more than 40 contributors comprised of Council sta!, Sponsors, and Members. Posts on policy, entrepreneurship, workforce development and more have attracted substantial readership and helped to accelerate the thought leadership of the Council and its community. Visit the Council’s blog at www.cleanenergycouncil.org/blog.

2011 Massachusetts Clean Energy Industry ReportOn October 18th, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick announced exciting results from a comprehensive clean energy jobs study commissioned by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. The report was prepared for the MassCEC by BW Research Partnership and the Council. In one of the most rigorous state level studies anywhere in the nation, the researchers found that there are over 64,000 clean energy industry workers in the Commonwealth at over 4,900 employers. Against the backdrop of cutbacks and layo!s in other sectors, the study reported a 6.7% annual employment growth rate for the state’s clean energy industry.

Report from the 2010-11 Massachusetts Clean Energy Summit MeetingsWith funding from Garfield Foundation, the Council collaborated with the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, Skillworks, and the UMass campuses in Lowell, Dartmouth, Amherst and Boston on a series of clean energy economic and workforce development summit meetings throughout the state. Over 350 industry leaders and stakeholders attended the summit meetings in 2010 and 2011. The collaboration partners issued a report in September 2011 with detailed suggestions aimed at accelerating the growth of the clean energy industry and workforce in Massachusetts.
