POWEREX LIVE NORTH GOLF DAY AT THE MERE

PowerEx Live North GOLF DAY

Participants at PowerEx North also enjoyed an active GOLF DAY held for those people staying on. Staged a day after the PowerEx North this was generally regarded as the perfect opportunity for “unwinding and combining business with sport”, as one golfer put it.

The 18-hole, 6,882 -yard, par-71 course at The Mere was designed by James Braid and was created out of 150-acres of Cheshire parkland in 1934. The Championship course holds a well-deserved reputation as one of the best-maintained and highest-quality golf courses in the North of England.

Surrounded by mature trees, flowering banks and with stunning views over the Mere Lake, the course offers the charm of the Cheshire countryside, coupled with a range of challenging features to test the precision and driving skills of every golfer. Water, ravines and thick vegetation have been incorporated into the landscape. The course has a reputation for demanding care and challenging accuracy from players whilst navigating the greens.

“The PowerEx Live North GOLF DAY proved an epic and thoroughly-enjoyable event for everyone taking part,” reports organiser Richard Teasdale. “It was hugely entertaining display of individual skill, determination and good humour.

“We were blessed by good weather and players of all competency levels were able to enjoy a whole day of pure, uninterrupted golf in the sunshine at a truly wonderful venue.

He concludes: “It is impressive how competitive people can get at the prospect of winning fancy prizes - and we had plenty of those to match just about every category. We look forward to repeating this success at another event to be announced in 2024.”

Heat networks will deliver a huge part of the work needed to deliver net zero, accelerating the low carbon transition and lowering energy bills thanks to their unique ability to integrate renewable energy sources and utilise waste heat.

Ultimately, heat networks are the only internationally proven route for decarbonising heat at scale - but this hasn’t always been recognised by the right decision-makers.

Energy technologies like offshore wind or solar panels have already become topics of discussion at dinners table around the country, and critical heat network infrastructure and the value it offers is next, with heat networks set to imminently explode into the public consciousness.

At the Association for Decentralised Energy’s (ADE) annual President’s Reception, hosted by Lord Duncan of Springbank and supported by Gemserv, leaders from across the industry gathered to learn, network and explore how we can ensure that heat networks’ moment in the sun is as impactful and transformative as possible.

Scaling up

Speaking to the 120 guests attending the lunch reception in the House of Lords, the ADE’s Interim CEO Caroline Bragg noted that heat networks are the only internationally proven route for decarbonising heat at scale, with scale being the operative word.

She says: “Heat networks are not a new technology – quite the opposite. They are an established and well-proven form of infrastructure that are now entering a new era. Building at scale is the next step for heat networks, and we all need to learn the lessons from other industries to ensure we accelerate up the growth curve.”
