Implementing the Scottish Onshore Wind Sector Deal: where we are and where we’re going
Location: Carron (first floor)
Signed in September 2023, the Scottish Onshore Wind Sector Deal is paving the way for Scotland to reach its ambitious goal of 20GW of onshore wind by 2030. The deal encapsulates our collective vision to harness the power of the wind to drive economic growth, create high-quality jobs, reduce carbon emissions and ultimately benefit the communities of Scotland.
With 63 commitments to deliver in a collaborative effort between government and industry, there is a lot to do to turn our collective vision into reality.
In this session we’ll cover progress being made on the Sector Deal, including:
- Update on overall progress on the Sector Deal
- The pipeline analysis of the proposed onshore wind developments out to 2030
- The skills analysis that accompanies the pipeline analysis.
- An update on standardising Environmental Impact Assessment reports
- How communities are benefitting from this investment in onshore wind

A Heat Networks Vision for Scotland - boldly going where no one has gone before
Location: Alsh 2 (ground floor)
Decarbonising heat is one of our greatest challenges in achieving net-zero. City-wide heat networks are already common in Europe and have a key role to play in providing homes in Scotland’s cities and towns with low-carbon, low-cost heat.
The Scottish Futures Trust recently advised that there is “value for Scottish Government in going further and developing a ‘vision’ for how heat networks in Scotland should operate in the long term”.
Scottish Renewables has developed a vision for heat networks in Scotland which explores the building and scaling up of district heat networks in each of Scotland's cities, seeking out opportunities to utilise waste heat from other industries and providing economic and social benefits to the communities they are located in. We need speed and scale to meet our heat network and climate change targets.
In this session, we’ll discuss:
- What is needed to increase large-scale district heat networks in Scotland
- Whether we have enough people and skills needed to build these heat networks
- Whether we still need to win hearts and change minds

Renewable energy supply chain impact, a snapshot
Location: Hall 1 (ground floor)
Ensuring the delivery of Scotland’s renewable energy projects is a Herculean task, and one which requires a vast array of skills, experience and engineering know-how.
That’s where the supply chain comes in.
Scottish Renewables’ Annual Supply Chain Impact Statement highlights how Scotland’s supply chain - which stretches from the outermost northern islands to the Borders - is utilising its expertise, skills and capabilities to deliver specialist work across all renewable energy technologies.
This session will showcase some of the talented organisations included in the annual publication, offering an insight into the inner workings of the businesses which are the boots on the ground when it comes to the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and operation of green energy projects.
In this session, we will cover:
- Market solutions
- Successes and lessons learned
- Future ambitions
- Tips for businesses looking to grow in the sector
