by Brianna Crandall — June 24, 2016 — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has selected 22 leaders to participate in its 2016 Executive Energy Leadership Program (Energy Execs), which provides non-technical business, governmental, and community leaders throughout the country an opportunity to learn about renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies, analytical tools, and financing to guide their organizations and communities in energy-related decisions and planning.
Facilities executives who are interested in participating are invited to apply for next year’s program.
The four-month program, which began last week, offers executive decision-makers from throughout the United States an in-depth opportunity to learn from some of our laboratory’s most prominent scientists, engineers and professionals, tour NREL research facilities, and visit local renewable energy installations.
At the conclusion of the program, participants will demonstrate what they have learned in the program by presenting a feasible clean energy project that is relevant to their organization or community. Since its inception in 2007, more than 200 representatives of industry, government and non-profit organizations have completed the Energy Execs program, delivered through the Executive Energy Leadership Academy. For more information, visit the program Web site.
NREL is the U.S. Department of Energy’s primary national laboratory for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development. NREL is operated for DOE by The Alliance for Sustainable Energy.
A complete list of this year’s Energy Execs participants is available on the NREL announcement, and a list of alumni since 2011 is also available from NREL, sorted by program and year. A Sample Syllabus is also available for perusal.
