About the Council
The New England Clean Energy Councils mission is to
accelerate New Englands 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 aliate
member organizations, including clean energy companies,
venture investors, major nancial 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
rms, and partners from most of the top New England
venture capital rms (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 rmly 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.

Welcome to the Clean Energy Councils 4
th
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 weve 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. Were proud of the eorts and success many of our companies
and partners are having in these dicult 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 wasnt 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 years 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
states 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 eorts, and our involvement in each of the New England states. Were 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 couldnt do what we do as a community
without your support and without everyones 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 Certicate Program
In 2011, the Council partnered with the Boston University School of
Management to oer an Executive Certicate in Leading Clean Energy Ventures.
The course, which evolved out of the Councils 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 rst class of twenty Leading Clean
Energy Ventures Fellows graduated in late April. The Council and Boston
University will oer the certicate 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 Energys Innovation Ecosystem Development
Initiative. U-Launch made its rst round of awards in March, and in October
made a series of further awards to Cleantech Open Regional nalists. In total, 12
companies have received U-Launch awards.
EIR Services
Recognizing 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 EIRs 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 Award
Over the summer, the New England Clean Energy Foundation, the Councils
501c3 sister organization, submitted a proposal for the Department of
Commerce Economic Development Administrations 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. NECEFs 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 Englands emerging clean energy
cluster, including universities, utilities, investors, innovation collaborators and
other not-for-prots. 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-in
In 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 Advocacy
Despite lowered expectations for signicant 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 aecting innovation programs, such as
DOEs ARPA-E and regional innovation initiatives, continued DOE funding for
Energy Eciency and Renewable Energy R&D, and voiced its strong support for
crucial incentive and tax packages as well as creative scale-up and development
nancing models. These eorts have engaged many Council members and a
growing set of strategic industry partners from other regions and in DC.
RGGI Clean Energy Project
Funded 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 RGGIs continued eectiveness with a particular
emphasis on New Hampshire.
State Policy Advocacy
The Council has expanded its policy and advocacy eorts across all 6 New
England states in 2011, with plans to continue to increase eorts 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 eciency 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-eective adoption and growth of clean energy across
New England.
7
Smart Grid Roundtable
Since December 2010, the Council has organized a series of roundtable
discussions to examine New Englands 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 eorts in 2012.
Aliates in Maine and Connecticut
In March, the Council announced two aliate 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 Eciency 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 Formation
The Council is part of a major new eort to be announced shortly, to
build, support and connectregional 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 Program
The Massachusetts Clean Energy Internship Opportunity is a workforce
development initiative oered 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 rst
year, the program supported over 100 competitively selected, paid college
interns at 70 dierent 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:
8
Finance Series
In 2011, the Council continued to explore topics in clean energy nance
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 Councils third Finance
Series event of the year will be on December 13
th
, 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 Directory
Last year, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center contracted with Northeast
Energy Eciency 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, masters 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 Forum
In 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 Services
This 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
theMassachusetts Biotechnology Council andWilliam Gallagher Associatesto
oer a new suite of member services oerings including access to the MassBio
Purchasing Consortium, and to insurance and benets administration and
discounts.

Clean Energy Council Blog
In 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 Councils blog at www.cleanenergycouncil.org/blog.
2011 Massachusetts Clean Energy Industry Report
On October 18
th
, 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 layos in other sectors, the
study reported a 6.7% annual employment growth rate for the states clean
energy industry.
Report from the 2010-11 Massachusetts Clean Energy Summit Meetings
With funding from Gareld 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.

THE POWER TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
CLEAN ENERGY
FINANCE AND INVESTMENT AUTHORITY
Aimed at providing low-cost nancing for clean energy
and energy efciency projects, the Clean Energy Finance
and Investment Authority (CEFIA), the successor
organization to the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund,
invests its resources in an array of enterprises, initiatives
and projects aimed at:
creating a diverse and growing supply of renewable
clean energy.
accelerating the development of clean energy and
energy efciency technologies.
educating consumers about the benets and
availability of clean energy.
About the Council
The New England Clean Energy Councils mission is to
accelerate New Englands 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 aliate
member organizations, including clean energy companies,
venture investors, major nancial 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
rms, and partners from most of the top New England
venture capital rms (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 rmly 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.
