The 4th Annual Milford Renewable Energy Fair will take place on April 26th. Sponsored by the Southwest Utah Renewable Energy Center (SUTREC), the fair is expected to attract 900 people from all across Utah and Nevada to Milford, Utah. The highlight of the fair is an electric vehicle endurance race that pits high school student teams against each other in a battle of engineering, science and driving skill
As the home of First Wind’s Milford Wind Project, the Blundell Geothermal plant, the Cyrq Energy Geothermal plant and Utah’s first hydroelectric power plant, Beaver County and the City of Milford is a logical choice to host the energy fair.
The Milford Fair also includes over 40 vendors displaying the latest in renewable energy, energy efficiency, biomass and alternative fuel technologies including several natural gas and electric powered vehicles.
Universities, government agencies, energy industry leaders, students and scientists will all have displays to educate the public on the latest advances in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The event will begin at 9 am on April 26th at Milford High School in Milford, Utah. Booth displays will be open until 2:30 pm with the electric car race beginning at 11 am.
