A series of conferences and events to explore the way in which we define and meet future energy demands will make up this year's 'Energy in Transition' programme from The Energy Institute. Ten events will be held across the three days to discuss new business models, energy storage, the community approach, fixing fuel poverty, smart homes for the future and meeting 2020 targets.
The EI’s annual 'Energy in Transition' programme brings together industry, government and academia to debate the key issues and solutions going forward, whilst providing opportunities for sharing knowledge and good practice. This year’s event, the third in the series, is designed to offer maximum flexibility to delegates and boasts a variety of events and formats — from business breakfasts and half-day conferences to debates and evening lectures. And as with previous events, 'Energy in Transition' will continue to report back to government departments on those topics of prime concern to help focus future energy policies and priorities.
Dr Fatih Birol HonFEI, Chief Economist at the International Energy Agency will be the keynote speaker and guest of honour at the Energy in Transition lunch. Other confirmed speakers at the event include Dr Brenda Boardman FEI, Environmental Change Institute; Dr Graham Cooley, ITM Power; Dave Farebrother CEng FEI FRSA, Land Securities Group; Dr Barbara Hammond, SEEDA; Gaynor Hartnell, Renewable Energy Association; Simon Roberts FEI, Centre for Sustainable Delivery; and Marian Spain of the Energy Saving Trust.
Energy in Transition takes place in London from October 12th - 14th. For more information about this and forthcoming EI events, contact the EI Events Team on +44 (0)20 7467 7174, or email events@energyinst.org or visit www.energyinst.org.
