The U.S. National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) is planning a partnership exchange on geothermal licensing and permitting processes with the Ethiopian Energy Authority (EEA) in Ethiopia and is seeking up to 3 volunteer experts.

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) is planning a partnership exchange on geothermal licensing and permitting processes with the Ethiopian Energy Authority (EEA) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from January 30 – February 1, 2018 and are searching for up to 3 volunteer experts (a mix of U.S. and international experts) to share their experience and expertise with Ethiopian participants.

Each volunteer will be responsible for developing 3-4 presentations and assisting with facilitating discussions throughout the partnership exchange.

NARUC will take care of all logistical arrangements for travel, and will cover associated expenses. Please see attached solicitation for more information.
