Dear All-Energy 2011 participant

“Microgeneration Question Time”

On the afternoon of 18th May, our lively conference schedule includes a session on progress in the Microgeneration sector – one of the fastest growing UK energy sectors.

Part of the programme includes a “Question Time” panel comprising leading industrialists “at the sharp end” of the Microgeneration sector, and is moderated by Dave Sowden, Chief Executive of the Micropower Council, the industry’s principal voice on Microgeneration issues.

Ideally, we would like to have time for the panel to answer everyone’s burning questions about the sector, but, in keeping with the BBC’s “Question Time” format, we want to ensure we cover as wide a range of topics as possible, so would ask that questions be submitted in advance.

The panel debate will be focussed on financial incentives for Microgeneration, so please email us with any questions by 17.00 on 17 May to judith@all-energy.co.uk with “Question Time” in the subject line.

Thank you very much, and we look forward to welcoming you to what promises, once again, to be a lively and energising session.

Your chairman for the All-Energy Microgeneration sessions,

Dave Sowden
Chief Executive
