About us

The Claverton Energy Group

Started life as an Energy Information Routing Group* for professionals and experts interested in the energy world covering: technology, resources, policy, modelling, futurology, economics, politics, generation technologies, conservation and conservation, renewables, combined heat and power CHP, transmission grids, nuclear, solar. Climate change and peak oil are taken as givens.

Members share, swap and / or sell information, technology, jobs, ideas, policies etc with an underlying view that we are headed for difficult times on the Energy Front.

There is no group policy as such – merely an ongoing debate.

Some members are highly placed, running large base-load power stations at executive level, others are involved in the upper levels of energy utilities e.g. National Grid, Centrica, Civil Service and other National Transmission systems etc.

Also academics at Professorial level, engineers, managers, consultants, biologist, economists, architects reflecting a wide range of expertise and knowledge.

There is/was a Wiki page – http://energydiscussiongroup.wikispaces.com/ which has bios of member’s experience and knowledge. This is being superseded by the Forum Members Profiles in this site. Make sure your Profile is completed on there if you are a member.

Some members are producing the Claverton Energy Briefing Note which is intended to be a coherent policy statement, written in layman’s terms, but backed up by sound technical references, covering UK, Europe and the World. Inevitably it is merely a snapshot of current evolving thinking.

Not all members accept all the points, but all points have been thoroughly debated and at least “pressure tested”.
