Power Gen Renewable Energy and Fuels Expo
David Petersen and I recently returned from Las Vegas where Tonkon Torp was an exhibitor at the Power Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels expo held February 19-21. I was impressed by the scope and diversity of exhibitors and attendees at the event. We met people from all over North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia involved in wind, solar, biofuels, geothermal, and wave energy as developers, manufacturers, investors, and economic development agencies. The Northwest was well-represented, too. Tonkon Torp exhibited with fellow members of the Northwest Energy Technology Collaborative, a group made up of a mix of industry, service providers, and governmental agencies. At the show, we were able to highlight some of the unique incentives, such as Oregon’s Business Energy Tax Credit, that make the Northwest such a great place to locate renewable energy projects and businesses. In all, it was a great trip, and I came back feeling energized and excited about renewable energy here in the Northwest and around the world.
