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.
