The Great Lakes Wind Collaborative's (GLWC's) 5th Annual Meeting will bring together representatives of U.S. and Canadian federal agencies, state/provincial and local governments, the wind industry, electric utilities, nonprofit organizations, academia, and other interested stakeholders to discuss and address issues regarding the sustainable development of wind energy in the binational Great Lakes region.

There will be a pre-conference site tour on the afternoon of Sept 24th of the AES Laurel Mountain wind and energy storage facility. This annual wind forum is held to examine the barriers to wind energy development and potential solutions for reducing these barriers. Updates on wind energy-related issues around the state arealso included in this forum. This event will be informative for, among others, academia, electric utility representatives, wind energy developers, utility and environmental regulators, consumers and consumer advocates, environmentalists, and economic development representatives. Registration is required, but there is no fee to attend.

The Golden Solar Homes Tour will be held on October 6, 2012.  This talk is a great opportunity to get a sense of the event and learn more about the local solar market!
