Advanced Energy Seminar Information
On November 6th, Ohio Department of Development staff presented information to 70 attendees on locally expanding the advanced energy supply chain. Clermont County businesses were one of the first groups in the state to hear information on tools, resources, and financial assistance programs for manufacturers to supply the wind, solar, biomass, and efficiency industries.
With 26 States having adopted renewable energy standards, it is anticipated that by the year 2020 approximately 5,800 megawatts of advanced/renewable energy will be used in Ohio alone. The State of Ohio is rolling out new grant and incentive programs to help existing Ohio companies retool manufacturing capacities and retrain work forces to produce components for wind turbines, geothermal systems, photovoltaic systems, biomass, clean coal, and nuclear.
