Welcome

Renewable Energy

Renewable energy generated from the sun, biomass and ocean currents can supply a greater portion of Florida’s energy needs – while improving our environment, increasing fuel diversity and spurring economic development. Nature offers a variety of freely available options for producing energy with Florida’s robust agricultural community. It is mainly a question of how to convert sunlight, biomass or water into electricity, fuel, heat or power as efficiently, sustainably and cost-effectively as possible.

The renewable energy market is indeed growing and the public has spoken. With decades of technological progress, renewable energy development and production is moving steadily into the mainstream. Increasing Florida’s portfolio of renewable energy resources can protect public health, improve environmental quality, stimulate sustainable economic development, create new employment opportunities and reduce reliance on imported fuels.

To that end, The Sunshine State Renewable Energy Expo & Symposium creates a forum for renewable energy industry leaders, auxiliary renewable energy businesses, renewable energy developers, investors, government officials and the public to engage in an action plan that will galvanize thoughtful public policy to make Florida the leader in renewable energy. The event will highlight Florida’s current and prospective renewable energy projects, provide recommendations that will spur the renewable energy industry in Florida, have an overview of financial and policy opportunities for the renewable energy industry in Florida and present networking opportunities with like-minded individuals and organizations.

With a host committee consisting of the Florida Renewable Energy Producers Association (FREPA), Dobson, Craig and Associates, Council for Sustainable Florida, Tallahassee’s Mary Brogan Museum, Florida Solar Energy Center, Go Green Strategies and the Florida Biofuels Association, the event will be held on Tuesday, March 11 & Wednesday March 12, 2008 at the Mary Brogan Museum on Kleman Plaza in Tallahassee, Florida.
