Registration Fee: $60 per person (includes breakfast, lunch, and entry to Exhibits)

Approximately one year ago, in October 2008, an historic agreement was signed by the Hawaiian Electric companies, the Governor of the State of Hawaii, the State Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism and the State of Hawaii Consumer Advocate.  This agreement puts into action the goals of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI), which aims to move Hawaii toward a future where 70 percent of its electricity and ground transportation needs will come from clean sources.

PCEA 2009 will be an exciting event, featuring speakers who will discuss and provide updates of key programs within the HCEI agreement.  The conference will also feature speakers and over 20 exhibitors who will present energy trends and showcase new technologies that will further help enable a clean energy future for Hawaii.

Please note that parking is available at the hotel.  Cost is $8 for self-park or $13 for valet.
