Planning the Energy Transition Seminar About the Event

The last 12 months have seen major changes in planning policy for both renewable energy providers and grid infrastructure as the reality of achieving net-zero hits home and the need to accelerate deployment focuses minds. 

The Scottish Onshore Wind Sector Deal promises to shorten project consenting timelines and the UK Government’s Transmission Acceleration Action Plan aims to speed up grid reinforcement.

Join this seminar to hear from the leading industry experts as we discuss what these changes look like in practice and learn how they will impact the development of your renewable energy projects.
