The Energy Expo will take place Saturday, January 15, 2011 from 9 AM to 5 PM at the brand-new NMC Aero Park Laboratories (2525 Aero Park Drive, Traverse City). This event is also the grand opening of this state of the art facility.

There is no charge to attend what will be one of Michigan’s largest energy expos that features over 60 energy industry experts introducing you to new technologies and helping you understand what’s what in the rapidly changing field of energy use and conservation. There will also be educational sessions on topics including Renewable Energy Systems, Energy Audits, Lighting & Geothermal Systems and Financing Renewable Energy Systems.

The Grand Traverse Insider quotes Ed Bailey, the Network’s convener and Director of Technical Disciplines

“Our focus is to educate and raise awareness on issues related to energy. It’s important to help people get a real understanding about the whole topic of energy. There are some very polarized opinions out there, and the more people understand, the more informed decisions they can make to move this area in the right direction.”

Head over the the Grand Vision Energy Network to learn more about this event and don’t miss a lecture with Brian Keane, president of SmartPower on Energy Efficiency this Thursday (Jan 13) at 7 PM at the Olsen Center in Traverse City.
