This one-day forum will provide information on the latest in planning and forecasting wind energy generation in Arizona, an update on local projects, transmission planning to access wind areas in the state, maximizing the use of a variable resources in a growing energy market and more! Please see the Web site for an agenda and registration information.

This program was established to address these issues comprehensively in an intensive “boot camp” format. Segments will be oriented toward executives, managers, system planners, contract specialists, system operators, design engineers, and others involved in the process of designing, integrating, and operating wind-energy sources. A group of nationally-known experts and outstanding faculty will provide top-notch instruction in the relevant topics.

Held in conjunction with the 4th annual AWEA Wind Energy Fall Symposium November 19 – 21, 2008, the "Utilities and Wind Power Seminar" is an all-day seminar on Wednesday November 19th from 8:30am to 5:30pm. The seminar will focus on critical issues facing electric utilities as they integrate more wind power into their systems and will cover topics effecting wind projects such as new business models and strategic partnerships, and operations and maintenance issues.

The seminar will primarily consist of presentations by electric utilities (IOUs, munis, and co-ops).

For 53 years, the American Public Power Association has been hosting the annual Engineering & Operations Technical Conference. The conference was founded to meet the unique needs of professionals charged with designing, developing and maintaining the electric systems across the country.

Today, the conference continues to be the only national conference designed to meet the needs of engineering and operations staff, and has expanded to include the public power lineworkers' rodeo competition. The conference benefits public power professionals working in the areas of transmission and distribution, environmental policy, generation, safety, SCADA, metering, security and system planning.
