ALAMEDA, Calif., April 13, 2005 - On Wednesday evening, April 27, Alameda's Public Utilities Board and Alameda Power & Telecom staff will host the third in its Clean Future Fund Speaker Series. A panel of experts will focus on new renewable resources, specifically the utility's recent acquisition of wind and landfill gas generation.

The event will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Mastick Senior Center, 1155 Santa Clara Avenue.

Featured speakers will include Ms. Linda Nutting, Senior Project Developer for Ameresco, Inc., a provider of energy from landfill gas, and Mr. Anders Glader, Senior Originator with PPM Energy, now supplying wind-generated electricity to Alameda.

The panelists will provide insights on the role these renewable technologies play in the industry in general and for Alameda in particular. About 80% of the power consumed in Alameda is generated using renewable resources.

Mr. Don Rushton, Alameda Power & Telecom's Utility Planning Supervisor, will offer additional perspective on our community's power needs and recent power transmission developments.
