Julia Hamm, Executive Director at SEPA said, “SEPA’s focus on educating utilities about the use and integration of solar electricity is more important than ever.  As utilities explore options to incorporate solar into their portfolio, more forums are needed to facilitate information sharing with their peers. SEPA’s 2009 Workshop Series provides regionally focused events to help utilities better understand how to incorporate solar projects and programs into the utility business.”
