There is a need for an energy policy which delivers sustainable, secure and affordable supplies. In the years ahead, these may come from renewable sources: wind turbines, wave and tidal generators, hydro, nuclear, solar and, perhaps nuclear fusion. The Nordic countries have given considerable thought to this subject. There is a strong emphasis on producing "green" energy from reliable and sustainable sources. Efficient use of energy is important, to cut costs in climates which are harsher than the UK. This conference aims to bring to London experts from the Nordic countries who can speak to their achievements and ambitions. The conference - organised in partnership with the combined Nordic Chambers of Commerce - also aims to demonstrate the expertise in the UK, and elsewhere in Europe, in areas such as security and risk management, the economics and financing of energy projects and carbon emissions trading.
