The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to attend the 11th annual Congressional Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency EXPO + Forum, hosted by the Sustainable Energy Coalition in cooperation with Members of the US House of Representatives and US Senate Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Caucuses.
This year’s EXPO will bring together more than three dozen businesses, sustainable energy industry trade associations, government agencies, and energy policy research organizations to showcase the status and near-term potential of the cross-section of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. A morning news conference will feature Members of the U.S. Congress while afternoon speakers will discuss the role sustainable energy technologies can play in meeting America’s energy needs.
As Congress, the Administration, the business community, environmental advocates, and American voters search for options to address ever-higher energy prices, increased reliance on energy imports, and the potential threat posed by rising levels of greenhouse gas emissions, the EXPO will help address the role that sustainable energy technologies might play. This will include not only the technical aspects of renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies but also related issues such as economics, jobs potential, environmental benefits, current and near-term market potential, model programs in the public and private sectors, institutional and legal barriers, etc.

- 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Exhibits open for viewing
