BONN, TORONTO, KINGSTON November 30, 2007 - The World Wind Energy
Association (WWEA), Ontario Sustainable Energy Association (OSEA) and
St. Lawrence College (SLC) are pleased to announce the North American
debut of the 7th World Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition
(WWEC2008), taking place June 24 â€" 26, 2008 in Kingston, Ontario,

7th WWEC2008 will profile the special topic of Community Power,
referring to the development and ownership of renewable energy
projects by local communities including farmers and landowners,
cooperatives, Aboriginal Groups, municipalities, utilities,
educational institutions and other partners.
7th WWEC2008 Community Power is comprised of a three-day program of
panels and presentations focused on policy, financing, ownership,
technology, interconnection, governance and capacity building, a Trade
Show Exhibition showcasing new technologies, supplier and
manufacturers in the renewable energy sector, and the first North
American Renewable Energy Job Fair, linking students and professionals
with training, education and employment opportunities and interested
renewable power sector companies and organizations.
Ontario, Canada is a fitting location for the 7th World Wind Energy
Conference. The province has introduced a feed-in tariff that
encourages the development of renewable power projects in the market,
and offers a compelling opportunity for wind energy investment. In
addition, Canada is one of the fastest growing wind power markets in
the world, with 113% installed wind energy capacity growth in 2006.
7th WWEC2008 is an international conference that will address the role
of community power within the dynamic renewable energy sector, in the
context of climate change and the evolution of international renewable
technology and energy markets. A number of exciting advocates and
leaders in the renewable power and community power have been invited
to participate in the Conference, which draws a diverse mix of
international delegates from differing backgrounds, regions and
experience in the renewable energy sector. Previous WWECs were held
in Germany, South Africa, China, Australia, India and Argentina, each
of them attracting delegates from more than 40 countries.
