Our first session at our Onshore Wind Conference heard from Dr Sarah Redwood from Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Jon O'Sullivan from EDF Renewables UK & Ireland, Gillian Noble from ScottishPower Renewables and Heather Donald from SSE Renewables. The panel discussion focussed on future policy development to enable deployment at the pace and scale needed to meet our ambitions. Our panel highlighted the need for an evolutionary not revolutionary approach, focusing on 'quick wins' that utilise the well-established pools of expertise that we have here in Scotland and the UK.

Our biggest-ever Onshore Wind Conference, co-organised with RenewableUK, kicked off today in Edinburgh! RenewableUK CEO Dan McGrail welcomed more than 900 delegates to the event which comes at a pivotal time for the sector following the Labour government lifting the ban on onshore wind in England and committing to the deployment of 30GW by 2030. Attendees also heard a message from Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, who reinforced the UK government’s commitment to delivering clean energy “with an urgency not demonstrated before". #ONSHOREWIND24 #onshorewind #renewables

The latest Contracts for Difference results announced today have seen 37 Scottish renewable energy projects with a joint capacity to generate almost 2GW of clean electricity win contracts in the vital auction. Green Volt, on Scotland’s east coast, set to become the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm. Two fixed offshore wind developments and key projects in onshore wind sit alongside solar and tidal stream developments which will add to the £10 billion of economic benefits delivered by renewables in Scotland each year. After the failure of last year’s auction, which attracted no bids from offshore wind projects, today’s announcement from the UK Government will boost investor confidence in in the renewable energy industry. ⬇️ Watch Chief Executive Claire Mack’s reaction to the announcement in the video below. 🔗 Read our news release on our website: https://lnkd.in/e2vaBAUU
