The Island Institute, a partner in DOE's Islanded Grid Resource Center, hosted the fifth annual Island Energy Conference on November 7, 2014 in Portland, Maine, and November 8, 2014 on Peaks Island. The conference brought together community leaders and energy experts to discuss the common energy challenges facing islands and the innovative solutions implemented by many island communities. The 2014 conference included more than 150 participants, new panel topics, a kickoff meeting for the Islanded Grid Resource Center, and an Energy Project Planning Workshop with representatives from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Saturday field trip to Peaks Island gave participants a chance to see ongoing community energy initiatives on the island. The conference presentations are available for viewing.
