NEW DATES FOR EEEGR CONFERENCE

The East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) has moved its flagship annual conference and exhibition to a new date.

The event – SNS2022: Energy Integrated in the East – will now be held over 2-3 March 2022, and bring together delegates from across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Essex.

EEEGR aims to support a region which is rich in energy sources – but historically overlooked by central government – with a united approach across sectors and counties.

With exciting developments in the pipeline, EEEGR has moved the conference to early 2022 to allow greater clarity on the opportunities for the regional supply chain which can be shared with the audience.

SNS2022: Energy Integrated in the East is a face-to-face event at the Norfolk Showground. There will also be a digital hybrid option for delegates to ensure that audiences can participate in a way that best suits them. The conference is open to the wider business community, as well as EEEGR members. Further information on delegate passes, sponsorship opportunities and exhibiting will be released on 5 October. Watch out for social media updates on Twitter and LinkedIn.

UNIVERSITY PLAN FOR SOLAR FARM

A solar farm planning bid is being finalised by the University of Cambridge, for submission in the autumn.

If approved, the farm will be built on a 36.7 hectare site owned by the university near the Lords Bridge Radio telescope.

The plan is part of the University’s drive to reduce its carbon footprint. It has a Science Based Target to reduce energy-related carbon emissions to absolute zero by 2048, with the aim of becoming zero carbon by 2038.

The proposed solar farm would generate around 22,875,000 kWh per year. This could potentially reduce the University’s carbon emissions by as much as 5,847 tonnesCO2 per year, a 19% drop on current emissions.

The final design will depend on issues such as archaeology, site visibility, the existing landscape, proximity to homes, and biodiversity and wildlife habitats. An Environmental Impact Assessment screening request has already been submitted.

The aim is to submit planning applications in autumn 2021, in the hope that permission will be received by early 2022.

Construction work is not expected to begin until at least the second half of 2022.

EAST SUFFOLK BUSINESS IS NOW CONNECTED

East Suffolk Business CONNECTED (ESBC) – formerly known as Suffolk Coast Business –has been relaunched and reinvented to provide a voice for small business owners.

EAST SUFFOLK BUSINESS CONNECTED (ESBC)

esbconnected.co.uk The Community Interest Company will champion East Suffolk businesses and aims to provide a free hub for the thriving coastal district.

Its work will complement organisations such as the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce in providing prospects for growth.

The new ESBC website launched in August with a free sign-up to help businesses stay in the loop with news and events.

Feedback from local businesses has already established that phone service and broadband are still pressing issues for rural parts of Suffolk, but also positively highlighted new post-pandemic ways of working. ESBC will work closely with contacts such as the Head of Sizewell C Supply Chain Engagement, managed on behalf of EDF by Suffolk Chamber of Commerce.

Spokesperson Ashley Shorey-Mills said: “ESBC will be dealing with many small businesses in the area and giving them a voice. Our role in the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce is to speak to as many local business groups as possible to answer any questions they may have and share with them the opportunities that Sizewell C will bring.”

Sizewell C Supply Chain, ESBC and other local organisations are already compiling a list of local contractors for EDF to access when work is ready to begin at the site.
