Steve Salt West Coast Energy's Planning and Development Director
attended the British Wind Energy Association's
(BWEA) Parliamentary Reception on 26th January
which this year took place at the Institution of Mechanical
Engineers in London.
The BWEA, soon to be rebranded as Renewable UK, launched its pre
election Manifesto at the reception which set out an ambitious
policy agenda to deliver the renewables revolution. The reception
was attended by major players in the renewable industry in the UK
together with Members of Parliament from both houses and senior
civil servants from the Department for Energy and Climate Change
and the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs.
At the reception, the Rt Hon Ed Miliband Secretary of State for
Energy and Climate Change spoke of the importance of the renewables
industry to the transformation of the British economy to a low
carbon sustainable economy and set out the challenges that lay
ahead in the drive towards this goal.
