Register now for Michigan Wind Energy Conference

The Great Lakes Renewable Energy Association (GLREA) will hold the 2010 Michigan Wind Energy Conference April 20-21 at COBO Hall in Detroit.

Wind energy is expected to bring major economic and environmental benefits to Michigan, including new jobs for manufacturing wind turbine components, and maintenance and installation of wind turbines.

Session topics at the conference will cover, among other things, construction needs of a wind farm, community wind energy case studies from Michigan, re-powering brownfield sites, financing projects, and Michigan manufacturing success stories.

The conference is geared toward stakeholders such as farmers and landowners, local government officials and planners, manufacturers and potential suppliers to the wind industry, building owners and managers, contractors, attorneys and consultants, educational and training organizations interested in green jobs, colleges and universities interested in wind energy research, and environmental groups.
