Energy and Utility Forum

Events

• 22 & 23 February 2012
  Delivering the New Energy Economy
  The Auditorium, Allen & Overy LLP
  One Bishops Square, London E1 6AD
  
  The UK's energy sector continues to face a widening spectrum of challenges; we have seen ambitious political plans tempered by Treasury decisions and, as time marches on, the existing approach to Smart is being challenged by innovative and cheaper emerging technologies.
  
  Despite progress in some areas, we continue to wait for clear policy decisions in many others.
  
  Whilst this uncertainty threatens to undermine existing projects, it creates an opening for new entrants, unencumbered by earlier approaches, to take an early lead and realise the groundbreaking partnerships that can deliver solutions rapidly and efficiently.
  
  As the gap between the macro and micro planning widens, keeping projects alive will require deeper insight, greater flexibility and highly effective leadership.
  
  On Day One we will examine the latest developments in the new energy landscape since our February 2011 event. The speakers will share their visions and views on what the future holds for the UK energy and utility sector. The workshops on Day Two will enable you to drill down into the detail and clarify exactly where and how you and your organisation fit within this evolving and expanding supply chain.

  Funding Renewables Conference
  The Auditorium, Allen & Overy LLP
  One Bishops Square, London E1 6AD
  
  The Government's Energy Market Reform is as big a change to the energy market as was privatisation and then, later, the roll-out of the New Electricity Trading Arrangements. The new changes are designed to achieve the growth of renewable energy from today's 7% to 30% in 2020, less than ten years.
  
  This massively ambitious programme with its projected cost of £200 billions is to be achieved by different instruments which will squeeze out gas and coal unless they contribute to the green economy and the extended use of subsidies to support renewables and low-carbon generation.
  
  Now in it’s third year, this conference provided a platform for funders and project 'owners' to talk to each other and for both to talk to Government about these issues.
