Wind Power for Communities

October 5-6, The Dalles, OR

Northwest SEED and the Energy Trust of Oregon are pleased to present a workshop for rural landowners, public officials, and community members interested in learning more about wind energy development. Workshop attendees come away with the knowledge and tools they need to ensure wind developments, large and small, result in the greatest local benefit. The workshop includes an introduction to modern wind technology, the various scales of wind development, and state incentives and policies affecting wind energy projects today. This October workshop will take place over 2 days.

• Day 1 will include information on incentives and financing, installing a small wind system for on-site use, and working with commercial developers.  A light lunch will be provided.
• Day 2 will be devoted to community-scale wind development, with speakers in the morning and an afternoon field trip to a project near Wasco, Oregon.  Lunch and transportation to the project site are not provided by the conference hosts.

All workshops are open to the public with a registration fee of $35 for each individual day or $60 for both days.  Register now for the Wind Power for Communities workshop.
