Workshops

Workshop A: Smart Meters
Facilitators: E.ON UK
Laura Bretherton - Smart Metering People Programme Lead
Chris Lee - Smart Co-ordinator (currently) on secondment from Derby Field Team Leader (managing Metering Technicians)
Neel Pattni - Smart Metering Centre of Excellence Advisor
Caroline Crawford - Smart Metering Centre of Excellence Advisor
Smart meters are the next generation of gas and electricity meters, and can open the door to a smarter future. Smart metering will eliminate the ambiguity of estimated bills, help consumers to control their energy usage, and make it really straightforward and simple to change suppliers and get the best deal possible. All of this will help consumers cut down on their energy consumption , which will help to reduce the amount of energy wasted and money. The nationwide roll-out aims to offer all consumers in the UK a smart meter by 2020. E.ON made the decision to start installing smart meters early with our customers, with the desire to take the learnings to help us shape a world class customer service. The objective of our workshop is to share with you our take on smart metering, share some of the journey and concepts we have developed in our test and learn period, along with answering any of your questions on how smart meters work and what the benefits are for our customers.
Workshop B: Engaging with the Public Health Agenda
Facilitator: Rachel Wookey, Environmental Public Health Scientist, Public Health England
Making the case - Fuel poverty and health: How can existing activities be used to make the ase for investing in fuel poverty initiatives, to Health and Wellbeing Boards and commissioners of health services?
Workshop C: Fuel Poverty
Facilitator: Liz Warren, Director, SE2
This workshop will explore emerging themes and aspects of the Government's forthcoming Fuel Poverty Strategy consultation, encouraging local authorities to share ideas and experiences that will either help or hinder delivery of the strategy at a local level. It is also a chance to present a clear "ask" of Government, industry and others, so that local authorities are in the strongest position possible to play their part in meeting any new fuel poverty targets.
