SCRES Webinar Series


  Knowledge powers Sitka just as much as its hydroelectricity. To make sure that knowledge is accessible as possible, the Sitka Community Renewable Energy Strategy (SCRES) includes a five-part webinar series to provide easy to digest information about Sitka's energy landscape during a lunchtime hour. Enjoy some food and facts with energy experts from across multiple departments of City and Borough of Sitka, the Renewable Energy Alaska Project, and the Pacific Northwest National Lab.
Can't make it? Don't worry, all webinars will be recorded and made available approximately one week later. Click here for more FAQs.
