Description:
|
In this period of changing economic and environmental conditions, greater attention is being placed on the role renewable energy technologies can play in tackling climate change and contributing to sustainable economic growth. Investments in wind power stand to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, dependence on fossil fuels and energy costs, as well as create more jobs in the green industry.
This workshop will deliver information on new developments at the federal, state, regional and local levels related to wind power use. High interest topics such as permitting, financing, accessing grant resources, net metering regulations, and the Green Communities Act will be addressed, among others. Case studies of successful community land-based wind projects will highlight lessons learned, financing options used, and how potential barriers were overcome. This workshop will be relevant to all communities exploring wind power.
