A brief Annual General Meeting will be followed by a lively panel discussion. The focus of the discussion will be the future of renewable energy at a time of government cuts, and how ‘green’ policies could provide an alternative to current austerity measures.

The panel will include:

• Lucy Worrall (Partner and Social Housing Lawyer of Croftons Solicitors LLP)
• Green Party Councillor Andrew Cooper of Kirklees
• Jenny Patient (South Yorkshire Energy Centre (SYEC) and Sheffield Campaign against Climate Change)
• John Grant (Senior Lecturer Sheffield Hallam University)
• Gary Chamberlin of Positive Footprint (a Sheffield based green energy solutions company).  

The panel discussion will be followed by information Q&A sessions covering topics such as feed-in tariffs, solar technology in education and home energy saving/efficiency.

The celebration will go on with refreshments and live music from Rockett 88. Solar-Active will also be asking for ‘solar-wishes’ from guests for the cake-cutting ceremony!  

David Garlovsky, Project Director of Schools & Homes Energy Education Project/Solar-Active, said: “It’s important that we celebrate our 19 years to thank all our volunteers and supporters, whilst also offering people the chance to learn more about renewable energy and low cost measures for energy saving”
