Scottish Renewables’ Annual Conference 2019 will be held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh, taking place over two days on 12 & 13 March 2019.
KEY TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:
- Is the UK doing enough to transition to a low-carbon energy system, and is Scotland’s leadership on ambition translating into the right action on the ground?
- Our energy system is changing and renewables are at the heart of that change, but how can we ensure Scotland’s businesses are at the forefront of global market growth?
- Brexit is almost upon us: what will a future outside Europe mean for ambition, investment and jobs in renewables?
- How do we build the energy networks of the future?
- What will the future of investment in clean energy look like?
- Will technology save us all? And are we investing enough in innovation to make sure it does?
