About the Supergen Annual Assembly
From the Supergen website here:
The Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Hub Annual Assembly, now in its fourth year, will be a three-day conference held online from Tuesday 18 – Thursday 20 January 2022.
With the upscaling of the UK Government’s ambitious targets to increase significantly the deployed capacity of offshore renewables within the next decade, including increasing the deployment of offshore wind from 30GW to 40GW, delivering 1GW of floating offshore wind by 2030, a newly announced £20m de Minimis of ring-fencing for tidal stream development and supporting up to double the capacity of renewable energy in the next Contracts for Difference auction, the need for increased research and innovation within Offshore Renewable Energy has never been more pressing.
Aligned with the outcomes of COP26, including a commitment by 40 world leaders to increase the uptake of clean technologies within five high-carbon sectors, including electricity, by imposing worldwide standards and policies, offshore renewable energy research and development will play a vital role in mitigating climate change. Our fourth Annual Assembly therefore gives those working in the offshore wind, wave and tidal energy sectors the chance to explore and debate cutting-edge research, find out about the latest opportunities and challenges in offshore renewable energy technologies, and network with the offshore renewable community, including academics, industry professionals and policymakers.
