Big energy brands back Ecobuild for growth

As Government unveils eight major new renewables projects, representing a staggering £12billion of investment by 2020, market confidence is high as big brands from across the energy market invest in Ecobuild (www.ecobuild.co.uk) the world’s leading event for the sustainable design, construction and energy sector.

Marking the new contracts as “a new stage in Britain’s green energy investment boom”, supporting 8,500 jobs, Energy secretary Ed Davey said they could add a further 4.5GW of low-carbon electricity to Britain’s energy mix (or around 4% of capacity), generating enough clean electricity to power over three million homes.

Further echoing industry positivity surrounding the government’s recent domestic RHI tariffs and Green Deal investment, Ecobuild has signed up a plethora of industry leaders for the 2015 event (3rd to 5th March 2015, ExCeL London) including Viessmann, Innasol, Sharp Electronics, Pegler Yorkshire and Wilo.

Visitors to Ecobuild continue to cite renewable energy and microgeneration technologies as some of the most highly sought after solutions at the event.

As the industry platform where policy meets practice, Ecobuild 2014 saw the government’s launch of both the £19 million boost for the Green Deal and consultation on the future of the Energy Company Obligation.
 
Alison Jackson, Group Director of Sustainability & Construction, Ecobuild said: “Government’s £12billion of private sector investment by 2020, combined with the launch of the hotly anticipated domestic Renewable Heat Incentive, brings fresh and exciting opportunities to the energy market.

"Ecobuild is the lynchpin of many of our exhibitors’ marketing strategies and is widely regarded as the superior platform to showcase new innovations to the entire buying and influencing chain.

"We are excited by the energy industry’s response to Ecobuild 2015 and will inject significant investment to ensure it is our most comprehensive energy offering ever.”
