Parties debate future of energy in SW
Just weeks before the general election, leading political parties are taking part in a debate on energy policy and role of renewables.
The debate takes place at the Renewable Energy Marketplace show at Westpoint near Exeter on 21 April 2015.
Those taking part in the debate include:
- Ben Bradshaw, MP for Exeter, Labour
- Diana Moore, prospective parliamentary Candidate for Exeter, Green Party
- Neil Parish, MP for Tiverton and Honiton, Conservatives.
- Lord Robin Teverson, Lib Dem spokesman for Energy and Climate Change
Merlin Hyman, Regen SW chief executive, said: “The security of our energy suppliers, level of bills and role of renewables such as wind and solar power are key issues here in the Westcountry. As the election comes closer we are delighted to be able to give people the opportunity to pose questions directly to the politicians on their energy plans in the next parliament.”
Renewable Energy Marketplace puts local companies that manufacture, sell and install renewable and energy saving technologies in front of famers and landowners, local businesses and the general public. It features over 80 exhibitors, a green car show with a range of electric vehicles and is attended by some 1,500 people.
