The UK's leading figures in the renewable energy sector will converge on Glasgow next week for the Scottish Renewables Offshore Wind Conference. This two-day event, taking place on 22 and 23 January at the SEC, will bring together over 1,000 industry leaders, government officials, and key stakeholders to explore the vast potential of Scotland's offshore wind energy.

With a pipeline exceeding 40GW, Scotland is poised to become a global leader in offshore wind. The conference will provide a platform for developers, suppliers, innovators, and researchers to discuss the scale and pace required to capitalize on this significant opportunity.

The event will feature a comprehensive program, including two days of insightful conference sessions, a bustling exhibition hall with over 60 stands, and exclusive business-to-business networking opportunities. A highlight will be the Burns Supper Conference Dinner held at the iconic Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

Day two of the conference will commence with a keynote address from Chris Stark CBE, Head of Mission Control for Clean Power 2030 at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

This year's conference promises to be a pivotal event for the Scottish offshore wind industry, fostering collaboration and driving innovation as the sector moves towards a sustainable and prosperous future.

Colin Palmer, Director of Offshore at Scottish Renewables, said: "Scottish Renewables' Offshore Wind Conference 2025 is a must attend for all those with an interest in Scotland's offshore wind future.

"The conference is not only a unique opportunity to hear from experts across the sector but a place to discuss the issues that matter with the developers, investors, decision-makers and stakeholders making it happen. The focus of this years conference is co-ordination, strategic planning and delivery.

"Key players in our industry will spend two days tackling the main barriers to building more offshore wind projects across the UK while exploring how we can establish a sustainable supply chain to support the once in a generation opportunity we have in front of us.

"We will also consider the implications of the UK Government's Clean Power 2030 Action Plan well as ongoing reviews of the offshore energy planning system."
