Energy Connections provides opportunities for organisations which will help to ensure that the East Midlands will be the UK's leading region in both innovation and meeting our ambitious climate change commitments of an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050.

The network has four core focus areas which have all been identified as priorities within the region:

Clean fossil fuels
Energy efficient technologies in buildings
Renewable energy

As part of the Energy Connections programme we are running an event for members explaining the opportunities for growth in the low carbon sector and how they can be exploited. This will take place at IGEM House in Kegworth on Monday 4th October. An agenda for the event can be seen below.
