The movers and shakers of the UK’s renewable energy industry will descend on Glasgow on 22 and 23 January to explore how Scotland can make the most of its biggest economic opportunity, offshore wind.
More than 1000 people will attend Scottish Renewables Offshore Wind Conference, at the SEC in Glasgow, where industry leaders, government officials and key stakeholders will gather over two days to discuss the scale and pace needed to deliver Scotland’s pipeline of more than 40GW offshore wind.
From developers and tier one suppliers to smaller businesses and innovators across the supply chain, the conference offers an opportunity to gain insights and intelligence from all parts of the sector.
For those working in the North Sea, on fixed-bottom or floating projects, this year’s conference offers unrivalled networking opportunities with a diverse energy audience. And for those working on research, ecology and energy policy, we will draw together all these essential themes in our review of barriers to ambition.
This year’s event will feature two days of conference sessions and the busy exhibition hall will include more than 60 stands.
The unique meet-the-buyer business booths offer crucial business-to-business conversations and a Burns Supper Conference Dinner in the iconic Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum offers a special end to day one of the conference.
The Scottish Renewables Offshore Wind Conference 2025 will include expert speakers from across the sector with day two beginning with a keynote address from Chris Stark CBE, Head of Mission Control for Clean Power 2030, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Colin Palmer, director of offshore at Scottish Renewables, said: “Scottish Renewables’ Offshore Wind Conference 2025 is a must attend for all those with an interest in Scotland’s offshore wind future.
“The conference is not only a unique opportunity to hear from experts across the sector but a place to discuss the issues that matter with the developers, investors, decision-makers and stakeholders making it happen.
“The focus of this year’s conference is co-ordination, strategic planning and delivery.
“Key players in our industry will spend two days tackling the main barriers to building more offshore wind projects across the UK while exploring how we can establish a sustainable supply chain to support the once in a generation opportunity we have in front of us.
“We will also consider the implications of the UK Government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan well as ongoing reviews of the offshore energy planning system.”
