CARSON CITY -- Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki will lead a renewable energy trade mission to Europe this summer.

The Nevada Appeal reported the focus will be to link some of Nevada's renewable-energy companies with partners in Spain and Germany.

The trip is scheduled for June 9-16 and includes a visit to Intersolar Europe 2012, a trade show to be held in Munich.

Krolicki said companies interested in participating may qualify to have some of their trip expenses subsidized by the State Trade and Export Promotion grants. That program is administered by the governor's Office of Economic Development.
