Scottish Renewables presents the annual Onshore Conference & Exhibition on the 16th June 2011; this event will take place in the Hilton Glasgow (1 William Street Glasgow G3 8HT).

The conference is the landmark policy and networking event for onshore wind in Scotland’s renewable energy calendar. Each year, industry, local and national government, regulators and academia come together to set new ambitions for the sector and debate the actions required to underpin the industry’s continued growth.

With an expected 150 or more delegates, our 2011 Conference is set to be bigger than ever, reflecting the sector’s key achievements of the last ten years, and focusing debate on the pivotal challenges to unlock the sector’s future potential. This year’s programme focuses on the challenges presented by the current financial climate, and the game-changing market reforms taking place across the industry in the UK.

Will Scotland’s onshore wind sector continue to be a bankable investment? What impacts will the vast array of regulatory reforms have on the industry? The conference will also look in more detail at the challenges and opportunities for securing project finance, maximising the economic viability of projects through site optimisation, and reducing costs through technological innovation. The programme will include influential speakers from banks, finance and market experts as well as technology and project developers.
