Elevating Energy Efficiency in the UK
As we gear up for the inaugural AEE UK-based Technical Summit in London on 22nd April 2024, we’re excited to spotlight the essence of our gathering – driving the energy efficiency agenda forward. This event isn’t just a meeting point for professionals; it’s a catalyst for change, knowledge, and innovation in the energy sector. Here is what you can expect to hear at the Summit:
1. Navigating ESOS Compliance Together
At the heart of our discussions is the Energy Savings and Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), with its upcoming compliance deadline on 5 June 2024. Despite a grace period until 6 August 2024 for final notifications, the urgency to act is clear. This summit presents a unique forum for regulators, industry leaders, and ESOS assessors to unite, share insights, and navigate the path to compliance together. The timing couldn’t be more opportune as we delve into strategies for successful adherence and explore the scheme’s broader implications on our energy landscape.
2. Energy Efficiency: The ‘First Fuel’
We’re setting the stage to redefine energy efficiency as not just a tool, but as the “first fuel” in combating climate change. It’s about addressing the issue at its core, minimizing energy demand, and laying down a viable pathway to net-zero targets. With studies indicating that energy efficiency can account for over 40% of the emissions reductions needed by 2040, the potential is immense. From existing technologies that could double our efficiency rates to innovative solutions like smart grids and high-efficiency heat pumps, the summit will explore how embracing efficiency can lead to a sustainable future at significantly lower costs.
3. Decarbonisation in Focus
Our program themes and expert panels will delve deep into decarbonisation efforts across various sectors, focusing on industrial processes, waste heat recovery, and overcoming the hurdles to decarbonisation. This thematic exploration is crucial for understanding how different industries can contribute to a greener future, highlighting the practical steps and innovations needed to reduce carbon footprints.
A Bonus Reason to Attend: Earth Day
This summit is more than just an event; it’s a platform to celebrate Earth Day 2024, fostering a spirit of sustainability and environmental stewardship among energy professionals. It’s a call to action for those dedicated to making a difference.
We hope that you will join us in London and participate in the discussion of Elevating Energy Efficiency in the United Kingdom.
