Scotland Policy Conferences
Since lockdown, we have been organising our full programme of conferences online. We will continue online until further notice, to ensure we play our part in helping our employees and delegates to remain safe during this time. We are pleased that so many key stakeholders, policymakers and other interested parties - both old friends and new delegates - are taking up the opportunity to discuss public policy issues and network at our impartial seminars. New events are coming on to our conference programme all the time. So there are plenty of opportunities for you to join us if you haven’t already, from wherever you are. For booking-related queries, or information on speaking, please email us at info@forumsupport.co.uk or contact us using one of the following numbers: +44 (0)7951044809 / +044 (0)7503591880 / +44 (0)7538736244.

Policy priorities for renewables in Scotland: investment, planning, technology and developing offshore energy sources

May 2019


This seminar brought together policymakers with key stakeholders to discuss the next steps for enhancing grid capacity, the future Capacity Market and developing storage solutions for renewable energy to support the flexibility of the system, and increased use of renewable sources of energy.


Delegates also considered the future for the offshore sector in Scotland with discussion on how the offshore and marine sector will fit within the wider renewables policy framework in the future.


Further sessions discussed the next steps in diversifying renewable generation in Scotland and looked at lessons which can be learnt from examples of good practice within localised projects; how the changes to the planning system in Scotland through the Planning Bill will impact on renewables and the way forward in tackling the challenges to current funding and investment.
