RENEWABLE ENERGY CONFERENCE Washington, DC . The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE)
and nine renewable energy trade associations announced today their endorsement
of POWER-GEN Renewable Energy 2005, the all-renewable energy trade show to be
held at the Las Vegas Hilton on March 1-3, 2005. POWER-GEN Renewable Energy is supported by trade associations
such as the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). "The American Wind
Energy Association is pleased to endorse POWER-GEN Renewable Energy," said
AWEA Executive Director Randall Swisher. "There is strong market demand for
wind and other renewable energy sources because of their environmental benefits
and value as insurance against fuel cost volatility. POWER-GEN Renewable Energy
makes it easy for utilities and other energy companies to look into, and do
business with, the full range of renewable energy technologies." Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) was a major player in
creating the event. SEIA Executive Director Rhone Resch stated that, "The
POWER-GEN Renewable Energy conference is a wonderful showcase for solar energy
and other fast-growing renewable energy technologies. As well, PGRE offers a
wide variety of business-to-business opportunities that are critical to our
industry's continuing growth. SEIA looks forward to participating in another
successful PGRE conference". POWER-GEN Renewable Energy 2005 features a Bioenergy Pavilion
covering biomass, biofuels, and bioproducts. Supporting associations in the
bioenergy arena include the New Uses Council, the American Bioenergy
Association, and the Clean Fuels Development Coalition (CFDC). "The development of biomass power, products and fuel is one
of the most exciting opportunities we have before us," said CFDC Executive
Director Doug Durante. "They can, and already are, providing environmental,
energy, and economic benefits. This conference continues to bring together the
cutting edge technologies while taking a practical view of how we produce these
fuels and get them into the market." Over 50 exhibitors have already secured space including General
Electric, Babcock & Wilcox, and Daimler-Chrysler. "POWER-GEN Renewable
Energy is best at bringing customers -- the engineers and procurement
professionals from utilities, industries and the fuel sector -- into the event
to meet with suppliers to do business," said Linda Church Ciocci, Executive
Director of the National Hydropower Association. "There's no other meeting
like it." Other partnering associations include the Solar Electric Power
Association, National Hydrogen Association, and the Geothermal Energy
Association. Supporting organizations include Edison Electric Institute (EEI),
the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL), the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA),
