The opportunity to turn 9 GW worth of PPA into real projects producing energy for the grid is right here –your industry colleagues and competitors will be in San Francisco hearing from experts on thermal storage, transmission, policy and regulatory issues, permitting, risk mitigation, and much much more!  There is so much for the taking, and we have all the information you need to do so!

The AFV Day Odyssey is a biennial event developed to promote the use of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles.

Covering financial trends, debt terms, tax equities and power output predictions.

Renewable Energies and Solar Energy in particular are now clearly an important part of the Global Political Agenda. The need to induce a larger solar energy footprint is a very real one, transforming an enormous potential into a practical reality, in particular in the area of Heating and Cooling of Buildings. Emphasis on the scientific aspects of the theme, giving privilege to the advancements of knowledge in this area.

The largest Solar Power Conference in the United States about the U.S. solar industry and market opportunities.  The conference is sponsored by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA).

The California Wind Energy Collaborative hopes to support the industry by providing interested individuals with a comprehensive and technical foundation of wind energy. Instead of replacing or duplicating on-the-job training, this course augments it by focusing on core fundamentals that traditionally aren't covered, including aerodynamics, structural loads, power electronics, and control systems. Topics such as grid integration of wind energy, environmental issues, and design of modern wind turbines will also be discussed. The course is nominally for technicians but is also appropriate for operators, engineers, business office personnel, decision makers, or anyone seeking a better understanding of the technology and science driving the industry.

This conference covers every angle, providing valuable insight from industry leaders on financing incentives, deal structures, new technology and advice from investors on how to emerge or remain competitive in this rapidly expanding and lucrative industry.

At Dow Jones VentureWire’s Alternative Energy Innovations, key players in the alternative energy market will come together to discuss what it takes to build a successful alternative energy company, what markets are ripe for innovation – from biofuels to energy storage, solar and wind power and beyond – as well as global market trends.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide a forum for stakeholders and the general public to hear about and discuss the most recent research conducted related to wind power development and wildlife. Examine what has been learned, discuss methods for minimizing or mitigating wind energy's adverse/undesirable impacts on wildlife, identify questions about wind power development opportunities and impacts related to wildlife, and identify gaps in knowledge and research needs.

Join NREL at its 21^st Industry Growth Forum—America’s largest venture event focused exclusively on companies developing clean energy products.

The California Wind Energy Collaborative (CWEC) is conducting a Small Wind Energy Workshop to address the issues and hurdles facing small wind energy in California. The workshop will gather information from industry professionals in order to develop a document that outlines the issues and recommends solutions so that small wind can succeed in
