This is a unique opportunity to meet with the leaders of renewable energy generation in our region. Howard Johns has just completed a guide to how we can create community owned energy generation around the country powered by renewable sources. Here is a proposal for the evening's schedule. This is subject to change.

9:00 Q&A

This will be an exciting discussion about all the clean alternatives available that can be provided in a community energy business model.

Rob Hopkins, founder of the Transition movement says about Energy Revolution: "Reimagining our energy system offers the potential of a win-win-win future: low carbon energy, more resilient communities, vibrant local economies. What's more, it's possible and it's already happening. Howard Johns, founder of Southern Solar and OVESCo, paints a spellbinding picture of the revolution happening around us, and the part you could play in it.”

Telling stories of the change that's already happening from around the world and drawing on two decades of his own unique experience, Howard Johns demonstrates how we can develop our own renewable energy projects to provide local energy and create a new fleet of businesses. He shows us how communities can build local energy solutions (renewable power stations that will be a new form of building society) where we come together to develop, finance and construct the infrastructure that we and future generations so desperately need. These new systems will create new jobs and businesses, reduce energy imports and create new local investment models.

His book, ENERGY REVOLUTION, containing the map we need to change the system from the bottom up and make the next great leap forward to achieving clean, affordable energy. In the run-up to the Paris Climate Conference, this will be an exciting positive event to inform us about what we can all do to make the changes we need to protect our environment.
