The Inspire conference, ran from 28^th November to 1^st December, attracting prominent speakers from the central, state and local government in India and many key speakers from other parts of the world.

Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) and Energy Performance Contracts formed an important theme throughout the conference. In this context, Prof Ruyssevelt presented on the results of important research, conducted by Pamela Fennel in her PhD studies, into the risks and rewards associated with EPCs for both ESCOs and clients.  The presentation also covered the scope and options for Measurement and Verification (M&V) which will be an important factor in energy saving projects as companies such as EESL move beyond the installation of LEDs lamps and lighting systems to more complex packages of measures.”
