Kansas Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency '06 Conference

The Kansas Corporation Commission's 7th Annual Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Conference will be held at the Topeka Ramada Inn beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 26, and continuing through Wednesday, September 27.

Keynote addresses will be presented by Representative Carl Holmes, Chair of the Kansas House Utilities Committee, Lola Spradley, Chairwoman of the Colorado Harvesting Energy Network and former Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives, and Dave Hamilton, Director of Global Warming and Energy Programs for the National Sierra Club.

On Wednesday, multiple breakout sessions on various topics will be held throughout the day. This is a great opportunity to learn the latest in Kansas' energy efforts and to interact with energy experts and policy makers from the federal, state and local level.

This year, many of the forums will provide a greater opportunity for conference attendees to participate in discussions and question and answer sessions. On Tuesday afternoon, a legislative panel consisting of members of the Kansas Senate and House Utilities and Agriculture Committees will address questions from those in attendance. Throughout Wednesday, the Kansas Energy Council will conduct citizen forums on Transportation, Agriculture, Renewable Portfolio Standards and Energy Efficiency.
