Scotland Unlimited: Realising the Ambition

Scottish Renewables’ Annual Conference is the landmark policy and networking event in Scotland’s renewable energy calendar.

Each March, delegates and speakers gather to look at challenges, actions and opportunities for Scotland’s renewable energy industry on the world stage.

This year, we are moving to the SECC to host our biggest conference, exhibition and networking platform to date and we will be joined by over 400 delegates, 50 exhibitors and key national and international speakers.

Last year the Scottish Government outlined big ambitions for the industry, including an 80% renewable electricity target, significant challenges to decarbonise heat and transport and the need to drive forward economic recovery.
