DENVER-
The second annual "New Energy Economy: The Path Forward - A Local
Focus" conference will focus on local issues and be held on October 14,
2008. The conference is sponsored the Governor's Energy Office (GEO),
Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC), the Division of Local Affairs
(DOLA), and the Office of Consumer Counsel (OCC). The state agencies
are partnering with Colorado Counties Incorporated (CCI), the Colorado
Municipal League (CML) and Energy Outreach Colorado (EOC) for the event, which
will take place at the Colorado Convention Center.
The conference will give communities a chance to share local sustainable
initiatives that are taking place across Colorado. Examples of best
practice models that power communities to take part in an efficient and
renewable energy future will be showcased, and participants will have a wide
range of networking opportunities.
"Communities are looking for resources and assistance to build and
sustain vibrant economies. Leveraging energy efficiency and renewable energy
technologies is one way to ensure that local communities remain good places
to live and work," said Tom Plant, the director of the Governor's Energy
Office. "This conference will focus on these issues and provide
information and networking on how to advance Colorado to a New Energy
Economy."
Online registration is available as well as opportunities for exhibiting. To
