Decarbonisation, net zero and water and energy management were the key focuses for the higher and further education delegates who joined TEC’s 2023 Conference.
Representatives from Universities, Colleges and the GLAM sector across England and Wales gathered at Conference Aston to hear from leading energy experts on how they could reduce their impact on the environment.
Three workshops, led by TEC Framework partners, highlighted the professional services and tools members could take advantage of:
Delegates also shared best practice about carbon reduction at their own Universities, highlighting the support they received from TEC.
This included the following presentations:
Adam Clarke, Managing Director at TEC, said: “The passion and enthusiasm of our members to achieve their individual decarbonisation ambitions is clear. The conference highlighted the key role of sharing best practices and successes amongst the membership to bolster those individual net zero journeys. This is something we are committed to facilitate further going forwards.
One of the key takeaways for me was that our members are able to leverage the value-added services and benefits available through the TEC Frameworks. Raising awareness about these services and supporting members to access them will be a key focus for TEC in the future.”
The Conference was also given expert views on the winter energy outlook by TEC’s Head of Trading Duncan Wyatt, Claire Dykta from National Grid, Geoff Parker-Naples from Corona Energy and Binoy Dharsi from EDF. David Smith, Economics Editor from the Sunday Times was our guest speaker who shared his expert insight into the energy and economics outlook.
TEC will explore some of the key themes from the conference in more depth in the coming months. These updates will include further insights on the key themes with contact information for those wanting to find out more from the session hosts.
