During the Summer of 2008, a series of three events will be held to enable interested persons to learn about Missouri's wind energy resources, meet others with similar interests, and consider what needs to happen to assure the state's wind energy potential best serves the needs of Missourians.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Energy Center plans to use video conferencing to share presentations and panel discussion among three panels as a means to expand understanding of the state's wind energy potential, and explore the challenges involved in developing this native renewable energy resource.
The wind energy forums will address utility scale wind development issues, including:
- Opportunities for, and barriers to, wind resource development
- Utility operations and transmission needs
- Landowner concerns
- Economic development potential
- Environmental, wildlife and aesthetic considerations
- Discussion of how to best use the state's wind energy potential.
You can participate in person via video conference in one of nine cities or view the video from your own computer. Please see the Web site for full details and an agenda. Date: 8/11/2008Location: Glassboro , NJBetty Long Rowan Auditorium, Rowan University. This symposium is designed to help municipalities harness wind energy to reduce energy costs and will serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas among scholars, practitioners, and wind energy technology vendors. It will feature presentations and displays on current wind technologies, rebates and incentives from state and federal agencies. Great Lakes AWEA Webcast: 20% Wind Energy by 2030 Date: 8/14/2008Location: MI9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. EDT
The U.S. DOE issued the "20% Wind Energy by 2030" report in May 2008. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is pleased to present this Webcast to members of the Michigan Wind Working Group to provide insights on the report and to present AWEA policy initiatives on behalf of the wind industry. The presentation will help support and guide various state-level efforts in the state of Michgan that the Michigan Wind Working Group has already underway or may initiate in the future. Register, if you are going to call in to the Webcast on your own.
Physical Location
The Michigan Renewable Energy Program and the Michigan Wind Working Group will host this Webcast in the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) offices in Lansing, in Hearing Room A. We reserved MPSC Hearing Room A from 9 a.m. until noon, so that anyone interested can continue the discussion here until noon, and then anyone interested can make their own arrangements for lunch at any nearby restaurant. Please plan to arrive a few minutes before the 9:30 a.m. starting time, so that you leave ample time to come into the building, obtain a visitor pass, and find your way to the hearing room prior to the start of the call.
Any interested person may attend and participate. The meeting site is accessible, including handicapped parking. Persons needing any accommodation to participate should contact the Commission's Executive Secretary at (517) 241-6160 in advance to request mobility, visual, hearing or other assistance. Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Task Force Meeting Date: 8/14/2008Location: NV3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Agenda
- Discussion/Action regarding review and approval of applications made under the Solar Energy Systems Incentive Program as revised in SB 437 of the 2007 legislative session, as well as review of compliance requirements issued by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada in Docket No. 07-02006.
- Discussion/Action regarding implementation of the Wind and Waterpower Demonstrations Program as implemented in SB 437 of the 2007 legislative session, as well as review of regulations issued by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada in Docket No. 07-06026.

Cedar Building, Room 307 Date: 8/14/2008 to 8/15/2008Location: San Francisco , CAElectric Utility Consultants, Inc. (EUCI). As more and more states adopt Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), the primary emphasis is evolving from policy making to implementation strategies. This conference will look at how utilities and their partners can practively and cost-effectively identify the various opportunities and obstacles they will face in meeting RPS mandates.
Presentations will focus specifically on issues faced by utilities in the Western Region. Because of the differing RPS designs and issues in various jurisdictions, the conference is designed to maximize opportunities for discussion and facilitate interaction among all participants. The presentations will provide information and highlight experiences that will serve as a foundation for the discussions.
