The Low Carbon Transition Plan: Pathways to Change

Falmouth, 24-25 May 2010

Falmouth Energy Week is a national annual conference and forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge ideas, leading transformation in decision-making and energy policy design. This year we are pleased to announce the event is sponsored by Scottish and Southern.

Following on from the success of Transforming the Energy Future: Pathways to Change in 2009, the conference will again bring together central decision-makers and stakeholders within energy policy in the UK to discuss the urgent transformation required to move towards a sustainable energy system.

The conference will be held over two days in Falmouth and will feature distinguished speakers and delegates from industry, government, NGOs, academia and community leaders. Last year’s conference was a huge success and was attended by a wide cross-section of the energy sector at the national, regional and local level. It will again be held next to a weekend to enable speakers and attendees to enjoy time in Cornwall. Delegates at last year’s conference commended it for the calibre of speakers and the relaxed atmosphere that allowed for open discussion and stimulating debate.

The Keynote speakers from Falmouth Energy Week 2009, Lewis Dale (National Grid), Jim Skea (UK Energy Research Centre), Oliver Tickell (journalist), Mark Yeoman (Convergence Cornwall) and Catherine Mitchell (Energy Policy Group, Exeter University).
