For wind energy to play a role in supplying the nation's energy needs, integrating wind energy into the power grid of the United States is an important issue to address. Large amounts of wind energy are located in areas of the United States without transmission lines to the power grid, and the natural variability of the wind resource raises concerns about how wind can be integrated into the existing transmission system.

The Nebraska League of Conservation Voters Education Fund is proud to host energy consultant and wind integration expert Bob Zavadil Vice President & Principal Consultant of the EnerNex Corporation to discuss integrating wind and making it reliable. Join us for this exciting event to hear from one of today’s foremost experts on wind integration and the clean energy future.

Bottom line, when we flip the switch, we expect the lights to turn on… can renewable energy do that for us?

The event is on Monday, May 18 on UNL’s East Campus in the Hardin Hall Auditorium at 7:00 PM for more information visit nlcv.org or contact Eva Sohl at esohl@nlcv.org/438-9341.
