Background
"The UKBCSE brings together the Chief Executives of Centrica, EDF Energy, National Grid plc, E.ON UK, RWE NPower, Scottish and Southern Energy, Scottish Power, and United Utilities, as well as senior executives from Shell, BP, CE Electric, Air Products, International Power and Renewable Energy Systems.
Objectives
The UKBCSE aims to: • Provide a forum for dialogue between the UK energy industry, government and other stakeholders on the key issues shaping the deployment of sustainable energy; • Promote the policies, investment and commitment needed to secure market growth and sustain long term business planning; • Highlight the scope for technological and market innovation to deliver key environmental goals.
Through an extensive programme of stakeholder consultation, the UKBCSE took the lead role for the UK Government in bringing together the UK Energy Sector input to the World Summit on Sustainable Development. At the World Summit, the UKBCSE worked with the UK Government to launch the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP).
In the UK, the Council has taken an active role in the development of cross industry input into the UK energy review, and the succeeding Energy White Paper as well as the Review of the UK Climate Change Programme and a range of other cross cutting issues.
The Council continues to take an active part in the Climate Change negotiations. It is involved in the international discussions about the structure of the second phase of the Kyoto protocol following the end of the first period of the Kyoto Protocol (2008-2012).
The Council has also taken a key role in the development and delivery of the UK Prime Ministers agenda for his G8 and EU Presidencies. The Prime Minister, in his address to the G8 summit as it received the G8 Renewables Task Force Report, welcomed its creation:
"We will work with the UK Business Council on Sustainable Energy to develop further initiatives to promote the use of renewable and sustainable energy.""[1]
