Collaborating for a Sustainable Future Greater Pittsburgh is emerging as America's leading energy center with unmatched strengths in natural resources combined with being an em- ployment leader across seven energy-related sectors - coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar and wind manufacturing, transmission & distribution and intelligent building. In 2009, industry, government and higher education leaders came together to create the Energy Alliance of Greater Pittsburgh with a shared vision of growing our region's energy industries, creating jobs, attracting investment and advancing our global leadership in improving our environment. The Alliance is a strategic partnership of more than 70 members, guided by a CEO Advisory Group and jointly staffed by the Allegheny Conference and Innovation Works (IW). Members include traditional and alternative energy companies, global leaders in material science and intelligent build- ing technologies, academic, corporate and government researchers and supply-chain providers.

Some examples of how the Alliance is working to achieve these goals are: • Advocating for policies that will encourage these industries to • Encouraging commercialization of innovations spinning out of flourish here; our government and university labs. • Reaching out worldwide to attract business investment;
