One segment of the energy sector that we follow closely relates to renewable energy. And in this regard, one industry trade association that we have a relationship with and watch is the Interwest Energy Alliance, which represents America's leading renewable energy companies (click here to see their members).Interwest's objective is to bring these companies "together with the West's non-governmental advocacy community to advance new project and transmission development."
Recently Interwest released its annual summary of Western Renewable Energy Highlights, which can be accessed by clicking here. Among other things, the annual summary reports that more than 850 megawatts of new wind energy projects were put in place last year in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Moreover, additional new wind and solar projects were announced in this region. This is what you will find in this influential group's annual summary:
Energy Alliance's annual summary of western renewable energy highlights provide just a snapshot view of some of the numerous activities that industry, government entities and many other parties are pursuing throughout the West to bring the region's renewable energy market foothold to scale.The alliance is led by Craig Cox, a former congressional aide to U.S. Congressman Dan Schaefer, Republican of Colorado. In that role, Mr. Cox was instrumental in forming the U.S. House of Representatives Renewable Energy Caucus.
The graduate program and Prof. Ann Vessels, director of the College of Law program, work closely with Mr. Cox and members of the Alliance to provide externship opportunities. We at DU also solicit the Alliance's guidance about trends in the industry that should be reflected in our courses.
DU is a leader in renewable energy-related education, with two courses now being offered that focus directly on renewables-- "Renewable Energy Project Finance" and "Renewable Energy for the 21st Century: Law, Technology, and Markets."
