PEC announces the Ohiopyle Sustainable Energy Fair on Saturday, October 8, 2011 from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. The fair will be held in the Ohiopyle-Stewart Community Center.

Exhibitors from clean energy businesses and non-profits will be on hand to provide information about energy conservation, energy efficiency, and sources of renewable energy, including biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower. Before cold weather returns, enjoy an autumn day in the Laurel Highlands and join us to learn more about how you can be a wise energy user!

This event builds on interest generated through the successful completion of multiple environmental initiatives in Ohiopyle, such as the Laurel Highlands Conservation Landscape Initiative (CLI) and the green streets stormwater management project. It also helps to implement the Ohiopyle Joint Master Plan, completed in March 2010, which includes a brief overview of opportunities for alternative energy production.

The energy fair is sponsored by the West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund and jointly planned by the Borough of Ohiopyle, Ohiopyle State Park, DCNR, Backyard Gardens, Student Conservation Association, Trail Towns Corps, National Historic Road, the Fayette County Redevelopment Authority, and PEC.
