MREA’s Summer Series is a virtual, lunch-time series featuring installers, advocates, and experts discussing fun and interesting topics in renewable energy. Join MREA on Thursdays at 12:30 pm for engaging presentations and Q&A sessions on Montana’s energy resources and policies, as well as virtual tours of solar PV, hydro, and battery systems. Plus, hear from special guests on how renewable energy is pairing up with transportation, agriculture, and even Montana’s two National Parks – Glacier and Yellowstone!
