The BIG Energy Summit – 'Local solutions for a global problem'

View Summit Agenda

The Big Energy Summit is APSE Energy's premier event looking at the energy, climate change and sustainability agenda designed specifically for the local government sector.

The range of technologies, business models and approaches that local authorities could adopt is vast, so it is vital to keep up to date on recent developments. We are bringing together a wide range of individuals and organisations to discuss case studies, explain technologies, evaluate approaches and share their knowledge and experience - this is not one to miss.
