Smart Energy is the conference and exhibition for energy users and beneficiaries of the renewable energy tariffs and heat incentive.
Please see all the presentations given here or below.
The global decentralised energy market is growing rapidly, encouraged by strong commercial, security, environmental and political drivers.
Here in the UK a successful campaign led by REA and Friends of the Earth, resulted in exciting new incentives for organisations and individuals to produce their own green energy under the 2008 Energy Act.
Following this success, we decided to develop the Smart Energy show specifically for decentralised energy users and potential beneficiaries of the upcoming ‘feed-in’ tariffs and heat incentive. The conference, alongside the exhibition, showcased the exciting array of decentralised energy technologies available today.
The conference was held over two days, day 1 focussing on Smart Energy and Businesses whilst day 2 will focus on Smart Energy and Communities.
Through various case studies and practical examples, a wide range of industry and public sector experts explored:
- The role and importance of the retail sector in technological and social change in the face of climate change, particularly in relation to energy and the new populist incentives for renewables investment.
- The huge opportunities for industry to drive social and technological change in the face of climate change and energy security concerns, as well as exploit new business opportunities, what pioneering work is being done by companies to reduce their carbon footprint and how they benefit from investment in ‘Smart Energy’.
- The role of the public sector in driving a smarter approach to energy both in its own operation and in its wider influence with the public, how the new incentives can encourage local government to step up their leadership on renewables and the role that schools, hospitals and other public institutions have to play.
- How communities, social enterprises and householders can use the new renewables incentives to take charge of their carbon footprint and their energy future.
- And much, much more…

“Partnerships for Renewables (PfR), a Carbon Trust Enterprise, works with the public sector to develop and manage onsite renewable energy projects and is currently working with over 100 Public Sector Bodies with a significant number of lead projects,” explains Tom Brinicombe, Head of Marketing and Communications, PfR. “Therefore we are pleased to encourage and support Smart Energy ’09 which has been set up to encourage both the public and private sector to look seriously at the range of advantages accrued by onsite renewable energy projects.
“The public sector is increasingly recognised as having a significant role to play in reducing carbon emissions and providing leadership at a local level. With a large renewables potential, public sector projects could make a significant contribution towards meetings the UK’s renewable energy targets, and Smart Energy will certainly help awareness of this challenge and of the opportunities. Smart Energy will be equally valuable to the private sector, and this is to be applauded. Our chief executive, Stephen Ainger will be speaking at Smart Energy ’09 and we are greatly looking forward to this new event, which we believe is set to grow in size and stature in future years.”
