In September 2024, the Scottish Government published its Green Industrial Strategy with the single aim of helping Scotland realise the economic benefits of a transition to net zero. The paper identifies five key areas where Scotland is “well placed to develop internationally competitive economic clusters”. Whilst they are certainly areas of opportunity, it will require vast transformation and cross-sectoral collaboration to reach the ambitious goals.
This new half-day conference, paired with another later in the year, will explore wind and solar as renewable energy options in Scotland by addressing the financial and storage challenges, the importance of a Just Transition, and the benefits of community engagement. With these in mind, panellists will explore viable solutions to these challenges and share valuable insights into how wind and solar can be utilised to help Scotland achieve its net zero goals.
