The Energy and Rural Business Show, taking place on 6 and 7 February at Telford International Centre, is an event for farmers and landowners who want to look at options for renewable energy and low emissions vehicles.

It includes three exhibitions in one space, including the Energy Now Expo, and explores the latest policy advice and diversification options for sustainable land use and rural livelihoods.

If you’d like to learn more about renewable energy and how CAT can help, come and talk to us at stand 54.

Dr Alan Owen, CAT renewable energy consultant and lecturer in our Graduate School of the Environment, will be on hand to offer advice and answer your questions.

 

Event speakers

Speaking at the event is Dirk Hendricks from the European Renewable Energy Federation, who will present on the likely impact of Brexit on the renewables sector.
