London Conference To Examine The Financing Of New Build

12 May (NucNet): The second annual Financing Nuclear Power conference in London this month will take a practical look at the “challenges and developments” of financing the nuclear renaissance, organisers say.

The conference, at the Crowne Plaza St James hotel on 20 and 21 May 2009, will have key themes including financing models, equity and debt market perspectives, and private and public risk sharing and exposure.

The keynote address will be given by Dr Tim Stone, senior adviser to the secretary of state and chief secretary to the Treasury at the UK’s Department of Energy and Climate Change. Other speakers include representatives from the nuclear energy industry, banks, academic organisations and financial companies.

After the conference on 22 May there will be a half-day workshop at the Copthorne Tara hotel on financial modeling.
