[Surgeon-Rogers, Tonna-Marie (DCR)]

 Putting Wind to Work in a Changing Climate
7th Annual Land-based Wind Workshop
 
Friday, April 17, 2009
9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cape Cod and Islands Association of Realtors Conference Center, West
Yarmouth
 
Target Audience:   Municipal officials, planners, planning boards,
engineers, DPW representatives, conservation commissions, energy
committee members, federal and state agency staff, consultants and
farmers. 
 
Workshop 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. The day will
close with an optional "Ask the Experts" panel discussion with experts
in the field.  The event will provide opportunity for learning,
information sharing and networking, and will be particularly relevant to
all communities exploring wind power.
