Utilities and Energy Sector Newsflash
We are launching the Utilities and Energy Sector Panel. The scope of the panel can be broad: delivery and cost of supply to domestic and business customers; delivery networks - pipes and cables; generation: fossil, renewables and nuclear; sustainability and the environment. My initial thoughts are that we could run a number of presentation/discussion/debating meetings involving industry leaders, academics and environmentalists. Also we could plan an annual visit to power plants, university or research centres, for example. If you wish to join the panel please email me at simon.engwell@outlook.com
