Renewables focus of MT Clean Energy Fair at Fairgrounds
The Montana Renewable Energy Association has announced the Montana Clean Energy Fair for Saturday, August 10th from 9am to 3:30pm at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds. This is the ninth year the event has traveled around the state to different cities and the second time it’s come to Bozeman. The Fair brings hundreds of Montanans from around the region to participate.
The Montana Clean Energy Fair is FREE and open to the public. It is the go-to event of the year for renewable energy education, featuring a series of 45-minute workshops on topics including: renewable energy policy, solar electricity and solar heating, batteries and energy storage, financing and incentives, net-zero homes, off-grid living, and much more. The workshops are for those who are new to these topics, those with experience, and everyone in between.
The Fair also features an electric car show with cutting-edge vehicles. Montana renewable energy businesses will be on hand to showcase their offerings and answer questions. For kids, activities will include the ever-popular model solar car races, solar oven construction, as well as a bouncy castle, face painting and more. Raffle prizes and a local solar home and business tour will round out the event. The Fair has plenty of parking available and is conveniently located next to the Gallatin Valley Farmer’s Market.
