NOVI – The Great Lakes Renewable Energy Association said it is moving its Michigan Energy Fair from the Manistee County Fairgrounds to the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi. The Fair is scheduled for June 25-27.
“I am very excited to hold our largest event of the year at Rock Financial Showplace and work with Novi and Oakland County. The move will allow us to reach a larger audience and offer new opportunities to our sponsors, exhibitors, presenters and attendees,” said Jennifer Alvarado, Executive Director of GLREA.
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, the father of Automation Alley, said he was excited the Fair will be coming to Southeast Michigan.
“Oakland county has been a leader in alternative energy research and development and looks forward to showcasing the county’s achievements at the GLREA Michigan Energy Fair,” Patterson said.
In previous years the Michigan Energy Fair has taken place at the Manistee County Fairgrounds in Onekama. The Michigan Energy Fair has traditionally hosted 6,000 attendees over the course of a weekend, 150 exhibitors, over 75 seminars and involved Gov. Jennifer Granholm, and Lt. Governor John Cherry, as keynote speakers.
Workshops are also presented on a variety of topics including energy efficiency improvements, controlling energy costs, green building guidelines, wind siting, climate change, and tax credits for home and business energy systems.
