Energy
A key focus for the energy sector is renewable
energy. The demand for electricity and the level and nature of
capacity that will be available, is subject to great uncertainty
over the next decade. The UK Government has committed to delivering
10% of the UK’s energy production from renewable sources by 2010,
and 20% by 2020. Consequently, the requirement to consider the
impact on security of supply, and the technology and commercial
means that are required to manage it, are crucial.
Tackling the effects of climate change, and
trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the Government believes
new nuclear power stations should have a role to play in the UK’s
future energy mix alongside other low carbon sources. They have
targeted the use of nuclear sources to rise from 20% to 70%, and it
is in the public interest to allow energy companies the option of
investing in new nuclear power stations.
SELEX Systems Integration, through its parent
company Finmeccanica, operates globally, working with governments,
independent power producers, and industrial users, looking at
tackling the ongoing demands of renewable energy.
