ACEP Researcher George Roe Traveled to Washington DC
George Roe returned very encouraged about the opportunities for Alaskans to contribute to, and benefit from, energy work – here in the United States and elsewhere in the world. The Department of Energy has multiple topics that are well-aligned with both the experience and opportunities in Alaska. There are many synergies with the small diesel / hybrid-system microgrids that are employed across much of the developing world and remote regions. For those interested, most of the conferences will be posting copies of presentations and webinar recordings of the various panel discussions.
