Land-based Wind Projects: Maximizing Benefits, Overcoming Barriers

This workshop is the next in the series started in 2003 and will examine how wind power use can reduce energy budgets, offset wastewater treatment costs and help mitigate climate change. Barriers related to permitting, public acceptance, financing, interconnection, operation and maintenance issues that impede implementation and success of land-based wind projects will be addressed with a view to generating solutions that can be readily applied. Lessons learned and approaches used by energy committees from the Towns of Orleans and Falmouth will be shared as well as a case study examining how wastewater treatment and wind energy generation have been successfully combined.

When: December 14, 2007

Where: Marriott Hotel, Route 132, Hyannis

Co-Sponsors: Massachusetts Coastal Training Program (Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve), Cape and Islands Self-Reliance and Cape and Islands Renewable Energy Collaborative
