The U.S. Department of Energy will present a live webcast titled National Clean Energy Business Creation Competition FOA Webinar on Monday, August 15, 2011, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. EDT.

Sarah Jane Maxted of DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy will present details on the funding opportunity.
