Illinois ranks fourth in the country for installed wind energy capacity and has more farms under construction, says David Loomis, director of the Center for Renewable Energy.

“In order to keep new jobs coming from wind energy, we need to see important state and federal policies in place. This conference in a one-stop shop for answers to issues concerning wind energy in the State of Illinois,” he says.

More than 40 speakers will share their knowledge and expertise during this two-day conference through plenary sessions, breakout seminars, and breakout panel sessions regarding wind energy topics.

Some of the conference’s agenda includes:

  • How New Entrants and New Technology in the Turbine Market are Changing Project Economics
  • Wind Turbine Engine Technology
  • How Electricity Markets Work in Illinois
  • What Landowners Need to Know
  • Wind for Schools
  • Enterprise Zones Versus High Impact Business
