The newly formed Committee will advise the Secretary on the
development and implementation of programs and policies that will
help expand the competitiveness of the U.S. renewable energy and
energy efficiency industries.
"I am honored to accept Secretary Locke's invitation to join his
Advisory Committee and I look forward to working with the other
committee members to provide input to the Secretary's plans for
programs and policies that will expand the competitiveness of the
U.S. renewable energy industry," said Duggan, Vice President,
Government and Regulatory Affairs at ECD/United Solar. "Having
participated in Secretary Locke's clean energy trade mission in
China earlier this year, I know firsthand of the Secretary's
commitment to these issues and the fine staff that support this
work at the Department of Commerce.
"As one of the long-time leaders in solar research and
development, United Solar has helped advance solar energy
technology to where it is today. We feel our perspective can be
beneficial on a committee advising our government leadership as it
further charts the future of renewable energy," Duggan added.
Duggan will be one of 28 Committee members who will serve
a two-year term and focus on making recommendations to the
Secretary of Commerce on policies and programs that strengthen the
competitiveness of U.S. renewable energy and energy efficiency
exports. They will also develop strategies to identify and expand
export markets for the renewable energy and energy efficiency
industries, both in the short- and long-term.
"We will work closely with the Advisory Committee to help
achieve President Obama's goal of making the United States a leader
in the global green economy," Secretary Locke said. "U.S. companies
in these critical sectors need to take full advantage of increased
export opportunities that will create green jobs for Americans,
which are needed to sustain our economic growth."
Committee members represent the entire spectrum of the renewable
energy and energy efficiency sectors, from wind, solar and
hydropower to green building, power distribution and energy
finance. The list of Committee members is available at
