Renewable Energy Supply Chain Conference 2025 Programme

Over the last five years, the country has seen a range of projects reach the momentous first-power milestone. From solar and battery installations to on and offshore wind farms, these projects have overcome the barriers to designing, constructing and operating renewable energy assets.

With many more to come, the renewable energy industry presents supply chain businesses in Scotland with their biggest economic opportunity. Making the most of this unprecedented pipeline is an ambitious undertaking for suppliers across the UK, who face a mind-boggling journey as they scale-up to meet demand by investing in people, facilities and capabilities.

Join us for a session which will unearth the lessons learned from those who have earned their stripes in renewable energy project delivery and explore how businesses can position themselves to grow in this ever-evolving sector.

In this session you will learn:

• From businesses with tangible experience of choreographing and conducting solutions to renewable energy project delivery
• Real life examples of local content success stories
• What renewable energy projects expect from their suppliers

More information will be released shortly.

Scotland's 11,000 miles of coastline is home to 11 major ports and more than 200 smaller ports and harbours. These crucial facilities underpin the delivery of complex renewable energy projects, supporting the projects needed to meet our energy transition ambitions.

Bold port organisations around our coastlines are working to expand their facilities, increase their capacities, attract major tenants and streamline solutions for projects with extensive requirements and this session will share insight from these tenacious businesses. Hear about their stories so far, what have they already delivered and where they are going next.

In this session you will learn:

• What the future of Scotland's ports will look like including size, scale, capabilities and decarbonisation efforts
• What it is really like to operate a port, and the challenges of day-to-day operations at the cutting edge of project delivery
• How Scotland’s ports are stepping up to meet the needs of the ever-growing renewable energy opportunity
