The training will be a three day long event covering general use, maintenance, and troubleshooting on wood fired boiler systems. This training is taking place as many of the attending communities have been funded for biomass boiler design and construction grants through the Renewable Energy Fund grant.
The training is funded by AEA, ANTHC, TCC, ADOL, and Dectra Corporation with assistance from ACEP.
