With the new Coalition Government now in power, the conference will provide one of the first opportunities for people to gain clarity and a clear political message on how the UK will be tackling climate change and the role District Energy has to play in the UK’s carbon reduction targets.

Following on from the great success of the inaugural DEKB Conference last year, DEKB and its sponsors are pleased to announce the next stage of the route map to "Making it Happen". The Conference will expand on the issues raised in last year‟s Conference, and will look in greater depth at how Decentralised Energy networks are created.

Through a targeted approach, the conference will provide breakout sessions to give delegates expert, one-to-one advice and support. These focused workshops will provide the ideal platform for Public and Private sector organisations to interact with a range of the UK‟s leading industry experts, offering a more specific understanding of the key tools in delivering Decentralised Energy Networks.

The Conference will specifically focus on:

- Funding Streams

- Planning

- Issues & Lessons Learned

- Retrofitting

One of the great achievements from last year‟s Conference was the highly successful energy centre tours, providing delegates with an opportunity to visit the highly acclaimed Birmingham District Energy Scheme. With this year‟s Conference being held in Southampton, those attending will be given the opportunity to visit the exemplar Southampton District Energy Scheme - which contains a 5.7 MWe CHP and a deep Geothermal Well.

This year‟s conference will also see the launch of the "Southampton: Low Carbon City‟ initiative.

As with last year this Conference is FREE to delegates attending from

• Public Sector Organisations
• Registered Social Landlords

Standard Delegate Day Rate £200

Concessions available to Property Developers and Students

SPACES ARE LIMITED
