In this special episode from RE+, we connect with Ryan Pfaff, EVP of Grid- and Distribution-Scale Power at EDF Renewables. Ryan discusses the massive growth in energy demand from companies and utilities, the geographic distribution of clean energy jobs across the US and what the future of automation might look like for renewables. Ryan explains how the longer duration of incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act is boosting renewables and he also outlines what customers and developers can do to quicken the pace of projects and bring more clean energy to the grid.

This special episode focusing on RE+ features insights from Jessica Libby, a Principal in the KPMG US Trade and Customs service line. Jessica shares her expert analysis of all the hottest topics from the conference, including the outlook for tariffs, news related to forced labor and the future of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). We also discuss the long-term prospects for key components of the Inflation Reduction Act -- regardless of which party takes the White House.

And in a lighter moment, Jessica kicks off the conversation by revealing that one of the 'must-see' things at this year's RE+ is sheep ... real, live sheep in the convention hall.
