AWEA Wind & Transmission Workshop

Few areas are more important to renewable energy development than transmission and the topic has quickly come to the forefront of the national policy discussion. The American Recovery and Reinvest- ment Act of 2009 provides funding for new transmission, and transmission legislation is ready to be introduced in Congress to remove roadblocks for private investment in green power superhighways.
The AWEA Wind & Transmission Workshop, March 17 - 18, 2009 in Overland Park, KS, will help you under- stand how transmission will be effected by this new legislation, how it will change the interconnec- tion queue process, and create new transmission project opportunities.
