Our CEO Pedro Azagra was honored to be a keynote speaker at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) Annual Energy Summit held in Santa Fe, NM this week. Avangrid has invested millions of dollars in renewable energy in the southwest, and is committed to further development in the region, including through our partnership to explore opportunities for up to 1 GW of green energy projects within the Navajo Nation in the states of New Mexico and Arizona. The purpose of the USHCC summit is to bring stakeholders from across the energy sector together to share knowledge of relevant energy issues and to ensure the role of Hispanic business enterprises within the industry. The title of this year's event was "Empowering Hispanic Businesses in the Evolving Energy Landscape." Pedro spoke about the importance of #renewableenergy and highlighted Avangrid's contributions to the #cleanenergy transition over the past year.
