SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT | John Severn

We're pleased to welcome John Severn from Brook Green Supply to our Energy Resilience & Net Zero Delivery Conference on 22 September.

John works closely with business customers to help them navigate complex energy markets and make informed procurement decisions, with expertise spanning market analysis, contract negotiation, risk management and PPA origination.

At the conference, John will be sharing insight into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and how businesses can consider them as part of their wider energy strategy.

With businesses looking for greater certainty, better value and more control over their energy costs, understanding the role PPAs can play is becoming increasingly important.

Join John and our other industry experts at The Edge, Wigan, for a day focused on practical approaches to energy resilience and net zero delivery.

It's easy to talk about Net Zero. It's much more important to demonstrate it.

That's why we've published our 2026 Net Zero Plan.https://brownlowutilities.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/BU-Net-Zero-Report-2026.pdf

It sets out the progress we've made, where we're heading, and the practical actions we're taking to reduce our own environmental impact.

As consultants, we believe credibility comes from doing the work ourselves. That experience helps us provide practical, realistic advice to the organisations we support every day.

Want to learn more about building a resilient, low-carbon future?
