Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 May 2023, SEC Glasgow
All-Energy and Dcarbonise, the UK’s largest low carbon energy and full supply chain renewables event, returns to Glasgow this May.
All-Energy offers an opportunity to meet, network and make connections with the renewable energy community with two days of uninterrupted business.
We’ll be chairing a day of presentations looking at community and local energy in the transition to net zero at this year’s All-Energy conference, which is free to attend.
Drop by the Community and Local Energy Show Floor Theatre on Wednesday 10 May where we’ll be highlighting community and local energy projects – past, present and future – and speaking with the people involved in developing, financing, delivering, researching and supporting them.
Themes include:
- technical solutions and innovation
- funding and markets
- urban energy projects
- community benefit
- collaboration and shared ownership.
Or join us on Thursday 11 May at conference sessions when we take a closer look at shared ownership and community benefits, and community and local heat.
