Why You Should Attend
Often it’s difficult to wade through the flood of information disseminated about
renewable energy. Renewable Energy 101 will hone in on the differences between the
various energy sources and provide practical solutions and answers to help you tap
into the best renewable energy source for your housing or community development
project.
Through sophisticated presentations by industry leaders, including representatives
from the Florida Housing Coalition, Renewable Energy 101 will arm attendees with
the information they need to determine the best renewable energy source for their
housing and/or community development projects. Discussions will focus on how to
secure financing for such projects, including through government incentives (e.g.,
Investment Tax Credits, Grants In Lieu Of Tax Credits, Production Tax Credits, New
Markets Tax Credits, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and USDA loans) and private
sources, as well as addressing the pros and cons of available renewable energy resources
including solar, community wind, biomass, geothermal and fuel cell. Case studies
highlighting successful projects in Florida, and other locations throughout the
country will also be featured.
