We’re welcoming an exciting line-up of campaigners, energy experts, and people living with sky-high bills to discuss how to #MakeGreenFair…
Kirsty Oliveira from Lambeth Tenants Heat Campaign, who is bringing a Judicial Review against Lambeth Council for their unpayable heat network charges
Suzy Murray from Wyndham Heat Network Action Group, which is organising to hold Southwark council to account for constant failures of heat and hot water
Marko Cosic from Meterpoint, who knows how heat networks should work.
Graeme Langton from an estate in Salford that was a mirror image of Grenfell, where tenants have been dealing with fire risks and with huge heat pumps that are too expensive to use. He is bringing a legal case.
Meg McDonald whose Kensington flat is an icebox – but she faces eviction-by-high-rent if government grants fix it up.
Holly Donovan, FPA Operations Lead, who lived for years with storage heaters not designed for human use.
Jonathan Bean, FPA Policy and Parliament lead, who lives in an all-electric home, at the mercy of the exorbitant price of electricity, and deadly overheating in the summer.
Ashley Grealish, CEO and co-founder of Windfall Energy, created to address the clean energy gap that leaves flat-dwellers and renters out of the renewable transition. He helped develop the Windfall Battery, a plug-in storage device that connects directly to a standard wall socket.
Kenny Cameron, founder of Connected Response, a company created to address the inefficiencies of traditional night-only storage heaters. He developed HeatSage, a retrofit smart control system that allows electric storage heaters to charge flexibly during cheaper, greener daytime and afternoon hours rather than rigid night windows.
