Northern Energy Taskforce Northern Launch (IPPR North and KPMG)
As the UK plots its path towards a low-carbon economy, the Northern Energy Taskforce wants to ensure our energy system is not a challenge we will struggle to cope with but an opportunity we are ready to seize.
The north of England has historically supplied the whole nation with heat and light and has also been a major contributor to the health of the wider economy. However, as our energy needs change, its future role in ‘keeping the lights on and our homes warm’ is now open for question. The energy sector in the North faces challenges, but it is well positioned to serve the UK’s changing energy needs and has the potential to reassert itself as the nations ‘powerhouse’.
Our first report examines the challenges and opportunities in the Northern energy sector and highlights key questions for further analysis. The second report, to be launched at this event, will plot out some possible futures. Speakers include;
- Sir John Harman – Chair, Northern Energy Taskforce
- Ed Cox – Director IPPR North
The event will take place at the KPMG Manchester office, One St. Peter’s Square, Manchester M2 3AE between 5.30pm and 7.30pm
