The public is invited to join the University of California Cooperative Extension and the Hopland Research and Extension Center for an evening in both Eureka and Hopland to explore opportunities to develop a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) – a program that enables counties to source energy for local electricity consumers. Participants in these evening events will also learn how woody biomass is utilized locally in the production of bioenergy; how woody biomass utilization compares with other renewable resources; and how woody biomass is linked to healthy forests and healthy local economies.

Event speakers include:
• Matthew Marshall, Executive Director of the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (Eureka);
• Greg Brehm (invited), Director of Power Resources for Marin Clean Energy (Hopland);
• Angie Lottes, Biomass Program Manager for the Watershed Research and Training Center; and
• Peter Tittmann, Academic Coordinator for the UC Berkeley Center for Forestry who specializes in woody biomass.
