Technorati Tags: The 2010 Nevada Small Farm Conference,business,NCET,Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology

This seminar is one of a series of workshops given monthly at the NV Energy building in Reno. The seminars focus on low-cost projects that can significantly reduce energy use and pay for themselves quickly. These projects yield positive cash flow in a very short time, with much better return on investment than alternative energy systems. By acting on energy efficiency opportunities the funds that would otherwise go toward paying the power bill become available for other productive use.

Resources to assist with implementing energy efficiency measures and realizing the economic benefits will be presented including NV Energy’s cash incentive program and business and finance support from the Small Business Development Centers.

These seminars are an informative practical companion to the other no-cost energy efficiency services provided by the Business Environmental Program at the Nevada Small Business Development Centers.
