Special thanks to everyone who made it out to Royal St. Patrick's Golf Club in Wrightstown last night. We ended up with 30 attendees who came out to hear Kellee Venden from Alliant Energy and Jeff Ehlers from Renewegy.

Kellee outlined how Alliant Energy continues to be a leader in their current renewable portfolio for Wisconsin as well as other states where they provide services, as well as seeking out new opportunities for the future. Our thanks to Alliant for their financial sponsorships of our events, and for their continued participation in our efforts.

Jeff's presentation focused on how Renewegy is positioning itself in the small to medium sized turbine market for corporate offices, public buildings and eventually the agricultural market. Renewegy's product offers unique benefits including online performance monitoring and self-erecting towers. Renewegy is a great Wisconsin company that has found a niche in the wind market, and has tremendous growth potential. (Read more about their project with SCA Tissue in a previous story in this blog.)
