Tribal Energy Program Review

November 17-20, 2008

Renaissance Denver Hotel
3801 Quebec Street
Denver, CO 80207

Note that the review has been extended through Thursday, November 20.

This annual program review is intended as a forum for tribes to meet and learn from other tribes pursuing energy sufficiency through conservation or renewable energy. The forum consists of presentations by tribes across the nation that are exploring renewable energy and energy efficiency. Come hear about their projects, the progress they've made, their successes and the lessons they've learned as they explore their energy options.

As we recognize the increasing interest of tribes in energy efficiency and renewable energy and the benefit of tribes learning from tribes, we're opening up this meeting to Indian Country as a whole. This is a unique forum where you can get an excellent overview of the wide range of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects under way in Indian Country.
