Consent-based Siting Public Meeting Locations

Today, the Department of Energy announced the locations of the consent-based siting initiative’s eight public meetings around the country. The purpose of these meetings is to hear from the public, communities, states, Tribal Nations, and all interested stakeholders on what matters to you as we move forward in developing a consent-based siting process.

Our first public meeting will be held in Chicago, Illinois on March 29th at the University of Chicago Conference Center. Our second public meeting will be held in Atlanta, Georgia on April 11th at the Georgia Institute of Technology Conference Center. We will also be hosting six more public meetings through the month of July. The remaining six meeting will be held in Boise, Idaho; Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Sacramento, California; and Tempe, Arizona.

Please visit energy.gov/consentbasedsiting to register to attend the Chicago or Atlanta meetings in person or to join the meeting via webcast. As registration opens for the other six meetings, we will post links on our website as well.

We look forward to your continued participation!
