Invitation to Leeds Energy Forum Wednesday 22 April

Time: 9:15 to 12:15

Venue: Leeds Open Data Institute, Munro House, Duke Street, Leeds LS9 8AG

Previous meetings of the Leeds Energy Forum held over 2013 and 2014 have been
very useful in developing the Council’s strategic thinking.

The next stage in development is to use the community developed around the
Energy Forum to create and deliver more and better energy projects in Leeds. In
simple terms we’d like to harness the goodwill and shared collective
intelligence generated within the operation of the Energy Forum and develop a
pipeline of projects that deliver against the city’s objectives of reducing
carbon and beating fuel poverty through projects with a sound business case.

To move this forward the Council has agreed to pilot SmartKlub, which is a new
operating model for project co-production at city scale. SmartKlub is a new
approach to developing distributed energy infrastructure at city scale. It
works to conceptualise and develop the overarching strategy and projects to
enable cities to have affordable energy, become zero carbon and move towards
more sustainable, resilient communities.

event, please download the attachment or click on the link at the bottom of this page.
