NEW YORK, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Piper Jaffray & Co.
will host its second annual Opportunities in Alternative Energy
Symposium Feb. 21, 2007, in New York City. The symposium will focus
on industry and investment trends in solar, cleantech and biofuels
through management presentations from leading public and private
companies in the sector and industry panels. The symposium will
also feature keynote addresses by Andy Karsner, assistant secretary
for the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy (EERE) and Hermann Scheer, member of the
German parliament, general chairman of the World Council for
Renewable Energy (WCRE) and president of EUROSOLAR, the European
Association for Renewable Energy. Karsner manages DOE's $1.17
billion energy efficiency and renewable energy program portfolio,
which promotes the development and marketplace integration of
renewable and environmentally sound energy technologies as well as
the efficient use of the nation's energy resources. Karsner also
supports the DOE's efforts on the Advanced Energy Initiative (AEI)
announced by President Bush in his 2006 State of the Union address,
which aims to accelerate breakthroughs in the ways Americans fuel
their cars and power their homes and businesses. Scheer is the
author of Energy Autonomy, Policy Innovator and Global Leader in
the Field of Renewable Energy as well as numerous other books. His
work is dedicated to a broad shift in the energy basis of modern
civilization: from fossil and nuclear resources to renewable
energies and includes policy innovations such as the German
Renewable Energy Act. "Solar and cleantech remain one of the best
secular growth trends in technology investing," said Jesse Pichel,
senior technology research analyst at Piper Jaffray. "Though few
technologies are competitive with grid electricity rates today,
continuous technology and manufacturing improvements will allow
grid parity in the foreseeable future. Our conference will offer
clients the opportunity to better understand cost reductions,
global policy and supply chain dynamics with presentations from
more than 45 leading alternative energy companies with an emphasis
on solar." The symposium features five panels and special
presentations: Emerging BioFuels Panel, Euro Solar Project Finance,
US Solar Integrator Panel, Power Storage Panel and Power
Electronics Panel. Companies scheduled to present include: Active
