Chair Kevin Keable addresses the delegates at EEEGR House of Commons Reception <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

On 24 January EEEGR kicked off their first event of 2024 with their high profile visit to the House of Commons.<\/p>\n

In readiness for the event, EEEGR collaborated with key stakeholders in the energy industry to produce a briefing paper outlining the key areas that will establish a new way forward for the sector in the region. This paper \u201c5 Core Principles for the East of England\u201d<\/strong> appeals to the government to provide certainty over policies on shifting to renewable energy, invest more in green skills, and do more to facilitate manufacturing in the UK.<\/p>\n

The document was presented at the event by Waveney MP Peter Aldous, who urged the government to deliver a set of fresh incentives to invest, from planning reforms and investment relief for renewable energy projects in line with the oil and gas allowance.<\/p>\n

EEEGR was delighted to be joined by 160 delegates at the event with representatives from some of East Anglia’s biggest projects including the offshore windfarm East Anglia One and nuclear power plant Sizewell C.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Kevin Keable, Chair of EEEGR added: \u201cWe believe this will establish a new way forward for energy in the East of England.  We have worked with local authorities and many other key regional stakeholders to arrive at this point.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe region stands at the forefront of the UK’s energy landscape, boasting a diverse range of commercial energy generation sources, including nuclear power, natural gas, onshore and offshore wind, solar, and biomass.<\/em><\/p>\n

“It hosts 47 Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects – more than anywhere else in the country – to power the UK and deliver better, faster, greener, fairer and more resilient results.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
