Energy CEO talk

PORT TOWNSEND — President and CEO of Sea Breeze Power Corp. Paul Manson will present at the Jefferson County Energy Lunch Program on Tuesday.

The event is at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St., from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Manson’s talk will focus on his financing experiences with renewable energy projects, not as a “how-to” but as background and support for those facing such challenges locally.

At Sea Breeze, Manson arranged financing for the 99-megawatt Cape Scott Wind Farm, the first utility-scale wind farm to be built on British Columbia’s west coast, according to a news release.

Sea Breeze Power Corp. is a Vancouver, B.C.-based diversified renewable energy company.

The monthly Energy Lunch programs, held every third Tuesday, are aimed at increasing awareness of how energy, energy technology and energy policy affect life and business in Jefferson County.

Participants are welcome to bring their lunch and arrive at noon to join an informal conversation with local energy professionals.
