October 20, 2016, 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM PDT

California Energy Commission, Hearing Room A, 1516 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 - Directions and Access Information


Building on the successful announcements by the President at the 2016 Lake Tahoe Summit to catalyze collaboration and action between the State of California and the Federal Government for conservation and renewable energy development in the Salton Sea, the U.S. Department of Energy, California Energy Commission, and the Geothermal Resources Council are convening a forum on October 20, 2016 in Sacramento, CA that will focus on overcoming technical challenges to develop geothermal energy resources statewide.

This forum will feature a diverse group of speakers from government, industry, and research that will help facilitate discussions to target solutions for new geothermal development while remaining consistent with critical Federal and State conservation planning efforts, particularly at the Salton Sea.

Registration is free and open to the public using the following link, but in-person capacity is limited. Remote attendance options will be made available prior to the meeting, and directions will be posted at https://geothermal.org/forum.html in the near future. The final agenda will also be posted on this webpage prior to the forum.
