Priorities for Energy Policy
Date: 4th December 2018
Location: Cardiff
While this event is focused on Wales, it will be interesting to see what ideas can be transferred and may prove useful to the Scottish context. Delegates will discuss what might be needed to increase the proportion of energy generated from renewables, in light of the Welsh Government target of sourcing 70% of Wales’ energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030.
This seminar will bring together policymakers with key stakeholders to discuss priorities for energy policy in Wales - including progress on the Welsh Government’s key long term targets on community ownership and increasing the level of renewables in the energy mix.

Scottish Renewables Annual Conference 2019
Date: 12th - 13th March 2019
Location: Edinburgh
Scotland’s renewable energy sector is facing a conundrum.
On one hand, increasingly ambitious climate change targets, a desire from government in both Edinburgh and London to decarbonise more quickly than ever before, and new innovations in technology and business models to suit our fast-changing energy landscape.
On the other, political upheaval, policy uncertainty, disrupted revenue streams, skills shortages and perennial challenges around grid, finance and planning.
Scottish Renewables’ Annual Conference brings together the people who matter in this sector to debate its future. Over two days in Edinburgh we discuss pathways on which business can succeed while delivering on the political and public ambitions which have helped create our industry.
