One day prior to its annual Geothermal Energy Finance Forum, the U.S. Geothermal Energy Association will ring the opening bell of the NASDAQ stock market on April 10, 2013.

Announced today, the U.S. Geothermal Energy Association will ring the NASDAQ stock market opening bell on April 10, 2013 prior to the Association’s annual Geothermal Energy Finance Forum which will take place a day later on April 11, 2013.

Discussions at the Finance Forum will focus on issues such as geothermal project finance in the United States and abroad, geothermal project risk, and a worldwide geothermal development update.

Much of this development is being spearheaded by American companies, a number of which will be represented at the event.

In honor of the occasion, Jonathan Weisgall, GEA Chairman of the Board, and Vice President, Legislative and Regulatory Affairs, MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company will ring the Opening Bell along with Karl Gawell, Executive Director, Geothermal Energy Association; Fred Rothauge, Manager – Corporate Business Development, Hydro Resources; Sid Sinha, Senior Vice President, Marathon Capital; Robert Manasse, Senior Vice President, Regulatory Affairs & Innovation, Enel Green Power North America, Inc.; Allison Hull, Director of Federal Affairs, Calpine; Jack Hand, President and CEO, POWER Engineers; and Mike Long, Vice President, Galena Advisors.
