Energy in Britain has entered a new era following the radical electricity market reform (EMR) ushered in by the government’s latest energy White Paper. Renewable energy now has an official roadmap plotting the route to delivering ambitious European targets of 15% of primary energy from green sources by 2020. This conference will address the issues and focus on the progress that is needed to reach the targets that have been set.
