An Energy Policy for the Future and Keeping the Lights on

At the BIEE AGM in October  2013  two former energy ministers, Lord Howell and Prof Charles Hendry addressed  the global and local challenges for energy policy going forward.  In his speech  An Energy Polciy for the Future Lord Howell  discussed   global policy requirements while Prof. Hendry looked at the UK policy context. They  explored some of the common themes across the world (such as energy security, climate change and affordability) and the specific UK circumstances (such as indigenous oil & gas resources, nuclear, renewables, EMR and the possibility of Scottish independence).
