IPowerE September Seminar

‘Diverse Solutions for De-Carbonisation’

Wednesday 27 September, 2023

MeetPoint Midlands Kegworth DE74 2DA

This one-day Seminar is aimed at examining today's energy challenges demand a full range of solutions to decarbonise the power sector.  Conventional gas fired plant will continue to support the Energy Transition, with changes to despatch, control, and fuels used.

Energy storage will, be it in battery or grid scale solutions, be used to complement renewable systems, deployed at increasing scale. Grid control and management will assume great importance as today's energy transmission and distribution systems are adapted to meet tomorrow's requirements. This seminar will bring many of these themes together, providing information and the opportunity for discussion and debate amongst your Power Engineering peers.

With the added opportunities for networking and discussions in smaller groups during the day and the excellent venue, this should be both an informative and enjoyable day.

Meetpoint Midlands is a quiet, relaxed and friendly meeting centre based in Kegworth in the East Midlands. Conveniently located just off junction 24 of the M1, three miles from East Midlands Parkway train station and four miles from East Midlands Airport allowing easy access for delegates and free parking.
