REA Annual Conference 2006- "Energy Review or Smoke-screen?"
Submitted:�22�June�2006
The REA Annual Conference 2006 was a great success. Please find below links to the presentations made on the day, along with a link to Alan Duncan's address. The Renewable Energy Association's 2006 Annual Conference titled "Energy Review or Smoke-screen?" was held on Thursday 22 June 2006 in the Flett Theatre at the Natural History Museum, London. Last Year�s REA Conference predicted a new Energy Review. The 2006 Renewable Energy Conference came in the middle of the review process.
Conference Theme -The Government�s Energy Review
The Government has made it clear that �everything is on the table� in their Energy Review. Yet they plan to complete it in just a few months, and the consultation document gives scant recognition to many important energy issues. There are also concerns that the vision of the 2003 Energy White Paper is being ditched and that uncertainty about the political direction is further undermining investor confidence. This year�s REA Conference will contribute by proposing a structure within which the many energy options can be reviewed. It will also highlight a number of key considerations, which the consultation document seems to have overlooked.
Invited speakers and panellists include:
Malcolm Wicks, the Minister of State for Energy
Peter Ainsworth, shadow Secretary of State for the Environment
Sir John Harman, chairman of the Environment Agency
Peter Kendall, President of the National Farmer�s Union
Carl McCamish, Deputy Head of the Energy Review Team
and many leading participants from the industry, NGOs, professionals and the City
Who should attend?
Everyone with a strategic interest in the primary drivers for renewables within the wider energy market.
