Event overview:
The 2010 Energy Bill, due to go before parliament before the end of the year, is likely to be the most important sustainability policy to come out of this government and may change the UK energy landscape. Those in the Sustainability and Energy Functions of energy-intensive companies, and the home retail sector, are watching this policy very closely. It is expected to create £10bn markets around home and SME retrofits, create a greater need for ESCO’s, and deliver certainty on carbon prices and the successor to ROC’s.
We have an excellent panel for this event, including the following:
- Patrick Erwin, Head, Energy Bill Team, DECC
- Gary Parke, Founder, Breathe (an ESCO)
- Matthew Sexton, Director of CSR, B&Q UK
Patrick is heading up the drafting team and is probably the most informed person we could hear from on the shape of the bill. Gary has 20 years experience in ESCO’s in the US and the UK, and will talk about the growing case for the ESCO model and discuss issues around Energy Performance Guarantees, innovative off-balance sheet funding solutions and the human resourcing challenges. Matt will talk about how B&Q are building major services into the Green Deal markets.
We will shortly be posting a survey specifically related to the Energy Bill, with our three speakers inputting many of the questions. Once you have been accepted, we will ask you to fill in the survey, so that we can go through the results at the event. You will be able to see how your company’s strategy on this compares with other FTSE350 companies.
