Another Cleantech Awards Celebration is in the books! Thank you to everyone who joined us last week to support the Awards Celebration and recognize the leaders in Colorado's cleantech community. An energized crowd packed The Rose in Golden to celebrate awards given to Hygge Power, Forge Nano, Keystone Tower Systems, OEDIT's Katie Woslager, Cooley and Rocky Mountain Institute. Colorado's cleantech community is having a moment. We're seeing steady employment growth, company formation on the rise, a supportive policy environment and increased cleantech investment. Colorado is a national leader in the cleantech and advanced energy industries and the Awards Celebration is always a great reminder of why this community is so strong. I am proud that CCIA has been an integral part of Colorado's energy community for 10 years and I look forward to working with you in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Shelly Curtiss
Executive Director

Emrgy Inc. is redefining hydropower through the introduction of distributed turbine “arrays”, which use the same deployment attributes that have enabled the solar power industry to grow exponentially in recent decades: modularity and flexibility. In an energy economy shifting toward distributed, yet often intermittent, renewables, Emrgy’s unique hydropower innovation enables continuous, reliable clean energy generation in existing water infrastructure such as irrigation, water conveyance, or municipal waterways — without the need for constructing dams or modifying the infrastructure in any way. Emrgy has installed the first distributed hydropower array in Denver, Colorado and is now scaling its business through a worldwide manufacturing and sales agreement with GE Renewable Energy.
