There is no doubt that renewable energy will be a key element of the energy mix of the future. Renewable energies such as wind and solar are growing faster than conventional energy -- approximately 25% per year throughout much of the last decade. In 2001, the installed U.S. wind power capacity jumped by more than 60 % in one year. Almost 1,700 megawatts of new wind capacity were brought on- line in the United States in one year, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
Renewable energy is regarded more and more as a profitable and rational investment in light of dramatic and continuing reductions in capital costs, reliability improvements, the volatility of fossil fuel prices, and the environmental compliance costs of generating electricity from fossil and nuclear fuel sources.
CBI’s “Renewable Energy” conference, November 7-8, 2002 in Oakland, CA provides senior executives in the renewable energy sector with all they need to know about markets, policies, incentives, investment costs, financing, economics and technologies for Wind, Solar and Biomass.
