The Solar Power 2007 conference is expected to draw 10,000 attendees, including representatives from more than 60 electric utilities, making it the largest solar conference in the western hemisphere. "In the US, over 10,000 grid-connected solar systems went online in 2006, and in the past 12 months contracts have been put in place for more than 1,000 megawatts of utility-scale solar," said Julia Judd, executive director of SEPA. "It is critical that utilities are provided a venue where they can learn about a technology that is becoming an important part of their generation resource mix."
