Working to create clean energy "On-Ramps" to the Electric Grid
|
The Iowa Renewable Energy Association (I-Renew) is a core member of the Distributed Generation Coalition, a coalition working for the development of clear and fair interconnection standards for owners of small renewable energy systems! We have filed our recommendations to The Iowa Utilities Board (a link to our filing can be found on I-Renew's homepage at www.IRenew.org) and will continue to monitor their progress, and act when necessary, to ensure fair standards are in place to enable wind and solar power to have an energy "on-ramp" to our electric grid! You can show your support for small wind and solar by adding your name to our supporters list! Email irenew@irenew.org to sign up! More information about I-Renew's work on creating a fair, safe and uniform interconnection process will be in our next issue of our newsletter, Energy Matters, coming out at the end of November. In order to be sure you will recieve a copy, become a member of I-Renew today!

I-Renew To Hire First Executive Director
|
The Iowa Renewable Energy Association (I-Renew) is planning to hire their first full-time director. “I-Renew has been successfully operated for many years by dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers,” says Kara Beauchamp, president of I-Renew’s Board of Directors. “The Board believes this is a critical time for Iowa and the country to become more energy efficient and to step up its use of renewable energy. I-Renew plays an important role in providing practical information about renewable energy, demonstrating the feasibility of renewable energy, and promoting policies which support the use of renewable energy. A full-time staff person will help us expand our reach and our impact.” |
