STEN Will Hold Third Quarterly Membership Meeting 

Massachusetts DEP
Noventa Energy

Sewer Thermal Energy Network (STEN) is holding its third quarterly membership meeting on July 24th 3:30pm EDT. This meeting is for members to hear about new developments in the sewage thermal energy use marketplace. It is also an opportunity for members to address the board directly. The meeting has two parts - the first half will be presentations; the second half will be membership dialogue. There will be people calling in from all over the world. STEN members have been sent an invitation to this meeting and we hope you will attend.


The meeting will start with introductions, immediately followed by a presentation from Michael DiBara, a MassDEP project manager who has over 26 years of environmental experience. Michael has a master’s degree from Suffolk University in public management. He will be discussing the new program to increase sewage thermal energy use development in Massachusetts. The next presentation is from STEN member Dennis Fotinos of Noventa Energy. His presentation will be about the change in the carbon tax code in Canada and its immediate effects on STEU projects.
