I thank the workshop organizers for their support: H. Muller (University of Victoria, Canada), the general chair of IEEE Quantum Week 2021, and T. Humble (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), the conference workshops co-chair. I thank Z. (Henry) Huang (IEEE laboratory fellow, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and research professor, Washington State University) and D. Merfeld (vice president and chief technology officer, GE Renewable) for sharing their prospective on the quantum computing needs across the renewable energy sector in the invited talks. I thank all the speakers for sharing their research in the field and all the workshop participant for their insights and valuable discussions. I thank Z. Eldredge (US Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office), the co-organizer of the workshop, for the many discussions and his contribution to make the workshop a success. I thank the US Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office and GE Research for supporting this effort.
