PROCEEDINGS OF 2005 FORUM NOW AVAILABLE

2005 California Wind Energy Collaborative Forum

CWEC's fourth annual Forum on the most current issues surrounding wind energy in California took place in La Jolla at the Institute of the Americas (DIRECTIONS) on December 13 and 14, 2005. This year's Forum featured expert panels discussing the development of near-term wind projects within the state, repowering in the Altamont wind resource area, emerging technologies for low wind speed regions, and distributed wind power generation in urban environments. The Forum program is listed below.

If you missed our previous Forums, you can still view the programs and proceedings for 2002, 2003, and 2004. Proceedings for this year's Forum will be available to registered attendees shortly.
