RenewableUK is holding a series of events in Glasgow during COP26 next month to highlight the policies and technologies the UK needs to reach net zero as fast as possible.
It also aims to showcase the UK renewables industry’s achievements in decarbonisation so far to the rest of the world.
The representative body will be streaming over 25 live debates, speeches and presentations live from its COP26 Energy Transition Hub in Glasgow from Monday 1st to Friday 12th November.
They will include offshore wind deployment beyond 2030, the expansion of floating wind and ramping up onshore wind, solar, marine and renewable hydrogen as well as the role of nuclear power on our low-carbon energy system.
RenewableUK will also examine upgrading the grid to offer greater flexibility, smart metering and progress on decarbonising the heating sector.
Other topics will include growing the UK-based renewable energy supply chain and ensuring that Contracts for Difference continue to deliver new capacity at the lowest cost to consumers.
Upskilling the workforce to deliver net zero by attracting as wide a range of people as possible from diverse backgrounds, will also be discussed.
Furthermore, the presentations will look at maintaining a high level of sustainability in the way renewable projects are built and examining how the UK has maintained a high level of public and political support for the transition to renewable energy.
