UK - Securing our Future at BWEA 28

BWEA, the UK’s leading renewable energy trade association will host its 28th annual event on 10-12 October 2006, attracting all leading players in the thriving wind, wave and tidal energy sectors. Over 1,000 industry representatives will attend the conference and exhibition at the SECC in Glasgow, to focus on the remaining barriers to renewable energy deployment and the opportunities for UK business once those barriers are removed. The timing of BWEA28 will lead to stimulating debate around the implementation of policy and initiatives resulting from the Government’s Energy Review, with delegates keen to examine how they can contribute to the Government’s vision of a sustainable, secure and affordable energy supply.

BWEA CEO Maria McCaffery MBE has issued a personal welcome to those congregating in Glasgow: “Wind, wave and tidal stream technologies are at the forefront of a new industrial revolution in the UK, which will generate secure and clean electricity to meet our country’s growing energy needs and bring countless economic opportunities in its wake. The leading players in this exciting sector will be meeting at the industry’s annual conference and exhibition in Glasgow. We are confidently expecting this event to attract more than a thousand delegates, and I look forward to welcoming them and you to the renewable event of the year.”
