The NREL Executive Energy Leadership Program — Energy Execs — provides an educational opportunity for Colorado business executives who are interested in building their knowledge of the energy efficiency and renewable energy industry. Here you will find information about the Energy Execs program. The application process for 2008 is closed.

Business Leaders Address Energy Solutions through Leadership Program

Energy Execs are community leaders who will serve as community ambassadors representing the many facets of alternative energy technologies and help guide communities and organizations with their future energy decisions and stewardship. See the press release for more information about the 2008 Energy Execs.

NREL's leadership program is held during monthly technology education sessions covering topics such as renewable utility applications, biofuels and transportation and energy efficient building applications. Sessions include an in-depth review of future energy markets and analysis tools for renewable energy and energy efficiency applications. Briefings by technology experts, research laboratory tours and visits to field applications are part of the classroom experience.

Participants prepare a project appropriate for their organization and present their findings to the class.
