Four dollar gasoline, $130 oil, $12 natural gas, concerns over global warming and climate change keeps energy at the forefront of most Kansas citizens' minds.

With over 1,000 megawatts of wind generation capacity expected to be online by the end of 2008, Kansas joins an elite group of states with renewable energy as a significant part of their electric generation portfolio.

The 9th Annual Kansas Wind & Renewable Energy Conference will allow interested citizens and organizations to explore alternative energy sources and conservation, education and efficiency. A record 600 attendees, representing 20 states, participated in the 2007 event. Even more are expected to attend in 2008.

In addition to the general session speakers, the conference will feature breakout sessions on the following topics:

  • Renewable Energy – including expanded discussion of wind generation opportunities (commercial, community and small wind) as well as opportunities for solar, biofuels, and other alternative energy resources.
  • Energy Efficiency – addressing a variety of energy conservation and efficiency issues for residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
  • Educational Opportunities – addressing curriculum at all educational levels to prepare teachers and individuals to meet the tremendous potential for careers in energy efficiency and renewable energy.

An Energy Industry Trade Show will provide two full days to meet and network with industry representatives and others working in the growing field of renewable energy and energy efficiency in Kansas and the nation.
