A practical example of how Betfred used AI to create energy managers at every store, while giving its operations team the information it needed to cheat the odds and deliver big savings.

Will AI replace the energy manager….?

We will be reviewing UK market movements for both gas and power over the past 12 months. There will be a stronger focus into the next 12 months outlook, including key risks that could impact wholesale prices.

Energy Market Recap and What’s To Come Next Year

At first sight, you don't think your business qualifies for Energy-Intensive Industry (EII) Exemption Scheme discounts. We’ll unpackage your options during this webinar. Ameresco have worked closely with DESNZ over the last 6 years to get companies that do not initially appear to qualify through EII scheme hurdles. We recognise that most companies are unwilling to invest in an application without some guarantee of a return. A “share of savings” package is available -- where you pay nothing unless we are able to successfully get your application approved and receive the benefit. Join this webinar to learn more and how to take the first step.

Are you sure you don’t qualify? Securing the financial discount of EII

Current impacts on energy procurement and what you can do next

With heating processes responsible for about 80% of building emissions in the UK, decarbonising heat from buildings is critical to the UK’s commitment to Net Zero.

Whilst implementing zero carbon heating systems is currently a choice, soon it will be a requirement. People who have not yet felt the brunt of decarbonisation policy, such as landlords, will soon face both regulatory requirements and public pressure to take active steps towards net zero.

Navigating the options available to businesses for transitioning to low carbon heat is a difficult task. Choices can be influenced by location, building use, commercial processes, available space, and personal preference. 

Gill Alker, AMP Clean Energy’s Innovation and Policy Lead, will outline the policy forthcoming changes and the options available to businesses in this webinar.

Speaker: Gill Alker, Innovation and Policy Lead at AMP Clean Energy
Gill Alker has been working in renewables for more than 20 years and is a recognised expert in the biomass field. Her experience spans sustainable development, energy policy, biomass heat, carbon management and environmental impact assessment.

How can your business navigate the complex roadmap to Net Zero buildings?

The Energy Security Strategy recently set out how the UK intends to significantly grow the hydrogen economy with a new 10GW hydrogen production target for 2030. The target could herald the beginning of the biggest change in Britain’s energy system since the growth of North Sea oil and gas extraction in the early 1970’s.

With zero emissions at the point of use, hydrogen can play a major role in the decarbonisation of heat, power and transport, and provide large-scale and long-term energy storage.

Mark Tarry, Head of Asset Development at AMP Clean Energy, will explore the options for the rapid scale up of hydrogen and will focus on how businesses can develop hydrogen-ready infrastructure and practices. 

Speaker: Mark Tarry, Head of Asset Development and Main Board Member at AMP Clean Energy
Mark heads up AMP Clean Energy’s Asset Development team which is focused on developing and delivering projects which deliver flexibility in front of the meter and energy directly to customers behind the meter. To date, the team has developed over 80MW of heat led assets and over 250MW of reserve power projects. 

Mark was AMP Clean Energy’s CFO between 2014-2021 and has been part of the senior management team which has led the business since its IPO in 2014 and its take private by Asterion in 2020. 

A member of the REA’s Hydrogen/Green Gas Steering Group, Mark supports businesses to adopt hydrogen ready infrastructure and practices.

Can your business take advantage of the preferred solution for low carbon fuel?

Is your business ready for upcoming policy and regulation which is expected to increase the ‘cost of carbon’ and lead to intensified emissions reduction? 

Change is afoot for the industrial sector with the implementation of the UK-ETS, and an anticipated future focus on hydrogen, carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS) and electrification to support decarbonisation.

With a ‘push’ from government policy there is also the ‘pull’ from consumers who are demanding sustainable products and environmental transparency.

Stuart Reid, AMP Clean Energy’s Head of Net Zero Customer Solutions, will outline the changes to the policy landscape in the 2020s, the low carbon options available, and how industrials can adapt and get ahead in the Net Zero transition.

Speaker: Stuart Reid, Head of Net Zero Customer Solutions at AMP Clean Energy
Stuart leads on delivering cost effective decarbonisation strategies to support businesses on their Net Zero journey. Stuart’s experience spans the private and public sector, and he has a particular specialism in low carbon and renewable solutions for large energy users. 

Stuart has been at the forefront of the development of some of AMP Clean Energy’s flagship projects including the bioenergy centre at Muntons’ Stowmarket site which is reducing the site’s emissions by half and helping the maltster to meet its science-based targets. 

A member of the Renewable Industry Advisory Group, Stuart also has significant experience of supporting the development of government and industry policy to help incentivise businesses to adopt renewable heat.
