Energy Boot Camp." This name reflects the objective of this intensive seminar to
enable the participants to return to their jobs with the ability to fully participate in
the development, planning, engineering, commissioning, and operation of wind-powered
generation facilities.
To achieve this objective, there will be an intensive coverage of wind-energy
topics by a variety of outstanding speakers who represent the state-of-the-art of this topic in the United States today. Collaborating organizations will include Public Service Company of New Mexico, Western Electric Coordinating Council, the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory, and the Utility Wind Integration Group.
There is a choice of two registration tracks for this program. Day 1 will be directed
especially to corporate executives and can be taken alone. Most engineers and
technical personnel will want to register for the second option, which includes the
entire 3-day program.

Following the success of the AWEA Offshore Wind Workshop in September, we are pleased to announce this offshore wind power webinar. The webinar will cover the role for offshore wind in the Department of Energy's 20% Wind Energy by 2030 scenario and will also provide a refresher on several topics from September's workshop.
The U.S. DOE issued the "20% Wind Energy by 2030" report in May, 2008, which included 54 gigawatts of off-shore wind energy modeled in the 20% scenario analysis. This level of growth will require coordination between state agencies, federal agencies and offshore wind developers. Several panels at the Offshore Workshop addressed the need for state and federal actions that will create a favorable climate for offshore wind development. These panels brought together many stakeholders involved in offshore wind to learn from the recent progress in several states. Tune in to the webinar for more information on agency / developer relationships and on the development of offshore wind projects in the U.S.
You must register to attend.
Space is limited. Reserve your Webinar seat now at: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/493607391.
After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Date: 11/16/2008Location: Kingston , RIThe University of Rhode Island Ryan Center. The 2008 Rhode Island Energy Solutions Expo will offer innovative and practical strategies to help Rhode Islanders deal with rising energy costs.
