Northfield resident Abby White who is a corporate communications specialist at NRG Systems in Hinesburg has joined a group of other NRG Systems employees at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.

She will join the Panel of Wind Energy Experts on the state of the global wind Industry.

NRG Systems CEO/President Jan Blittersdorf is also attending after just returning from last week’s White House Forum on Jobs and Economic Growth.

Ms. Blittersdorf will be on a panel discussing “The State of the Global Wind Energy Industry,” one of several side events scheduled during the global conference.

The panelists are expected to discuss the key role wind energy can play to address climate change.

“It’s exciting to be a part of such an important global event,” said Ms. Blittersdorf. “I am hopeful that our world leaders come away with a meaningful commitment to reducing carbon dioxide emissions…as a planet, we simply cannot afford to wait any longer.”

The NRG Systems group is among at least a dozen Vermont groups that will attend the conference.
