SOLAR 2011 is forecasted to pump $3-6 million into the region, benefiting local businesses, boosting the economy, generating tax revenue - and shining the national spot light on North Carolina's emerging clean energy economy and its businesses, employees and consumers.
NCSEA strongly encouraged ASES to hold their national conference in North Carolina, including meeting with and hosting ASES staff in Raleigh for tours of the city and its meeting facilities in early 2009, and we will partner with the national organization to plan a successful event that shows off our state.
ASES selected Raleigh as the host of this major conference due to our:
- Passionate support for renewable energy by local leaders
- Recent economic development within the region
- The opportunity to partner with policy-makers to expand the use of renewable energy
ASES is partnering with several North Carolina organizations to make the conference a success, including NCSEA, the NC Solar Center, NC Department of Commerce, and the State Energy Office.
