The event itself
This event coincides with the passage through Parliament of the Energy Bill implementing Electricity Market Reform (EMR) which is concerned with giving priority to a low-carbon electricity strategy. This event will focus on policies needed to underpin a feed-in tariff system for funding renewable energy and also the sort of policy environment that is needed to ensure maximised expansion of renewable energy.
The conference will also provide a focus for the independent sector (both large and small) who are vitally important to achieving anticipated growth in renewable energy deployment.
A mixture of expert speakers and participants for industry, government, environmental NGOs, and academia will discuss the details of the issues and options available.
Cost:
- £200 corporate/commercial organisations
- £50 to other organisations
- FREE Charity/Voluntary sector organisations
- FREE University of Birmingham staff, students or alumni
