FiT for FARMING
12 April 2011 Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire
The Warwickshire Rural Hub along with the RASE, CLA, NFU and the Renewable Energy Exchange are supporting the FiT for Farming event.
Agriculture is an energy-intensive business and the need for alternative energy sources has never been greater, both to cut energy bills and carbon emissions.
The Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme and the upcoming Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is creating tremendous interest from landowners. However, reviewing potential options and deciding upon the most suitable renewable technologies can be a very time-consuming exercise.
The FiTfor FARMING event, supported by the CLA, is designed to provide a time-efficient way for landowners to explore the commercial opportunities from renewable technologies and so short-list potential suppliers.
A programme of workshops and roundtable discussion groups, together with a pre-arranged meetings service, enables attendees to link-up with those who can share relevant experience and resolve specific questions.
