The goal of the event is to provide an opportunity for New England island residents to discuss common energy challenges and learn more about resources that exist to address these challenges.

Topics covered will include bulk purchasing of energy efficient products, innovation on diesel-powered islands, island community-developer relations in offshore wind projects, funding opportunities, and many other issues related to efficiency and renewable energy projects on islands and islanded grids. With the support of the U.S. Department of Energy's WINDExchange program, this event will also serve as a regional convening for the Islanded Grid Resource Center.
