CCTO Energy Efficiency Symposium

Posted by: Katie Romans

Hot on the heels of naming its 44 finalists last week, the California Clean Tech Open keeps the momentum alive with an Energy Efficiency symposium tonight at PG&E's own auditorium.

Beginning with opening remarks from California Public Utilities Commissioner Dian Grueneich and PG&E Director of Customer Energy Efficiency Roland Risser, the symposium hopes to draw together researchers and engineers, industry professionals, and entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs.

The topic du jour? Energy efficiency.

From companies like Power Assure, which claims their pending software can cut Data Center electricity bills by 50 per cent, to Serious Materials, which develops eco-friendly building materials -- CCTO finalists are bringing cutting edge energy efficiency technologies to the market. And, with a backdrop of skyrocketing energy prices, carbon consciousness and regulatory mandates, their timing couldn't be better.

Tonight's energy efficiency symposium will engage key players in this dialogue and also bring us one step closer to making the winner's technology a reality.
