This workshop is part of a series of six energy workshops taking place across Oregon that is designed to help rural communities identify energy savings and energy generation opportunities, and invest in local energy programs and projects.

Participants will learn about many successful projects using geothermal energy and solar, and will help identify what type of opportunities are available to help Klamath Falls move forward in meeting its energy independence goals. Presentations will include residential energy, agriculture energy, renewable energy cooperatives, and emerging technologies. During the lunch hour, attendees will be able to have small group discussions with experts in renewable energy and efficiency applications, and available utility programs, tax credits, and state and federal cost share programs.
