Renewing the Humber
(UK) Businesses involved in the growing renewables sector are to be given practical industry support with the return of a flagship green energy conference.
More than 200 industry leaders are expected at Renewing The Humber on 1 May at the KC Stadium in Hull. Organisers say the latest event will tackle some of the key issues that could prevent companies across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire from securing long term work in the emerging market.
Delegates will be given industry intelligence and advice on topics ranging from finance and doing business overseas to cutting costs and planning regulations.The event is aimed at businesses working in every area of renewable energy and across their supply chains, from on and offshore wind power to tidal, biomass, solar and air and ground source heat pumps.
This is the third time Renewing The Humber has been staged. It follows two highly successful events held last year, attracting more than 500 business, community and industry leaders and featuring speakers from a number of companies and private sector organisations working in the renewables arena.
The Humber is emerging as the UK’s hub for renewable energy and stands to benefit from an estimated £15bn investment in offshore wind power alone, with locations such as Hull being the potential home of large scale turbine manufacturing by the likes of Siemens. Ports including Grimsby are also well positioned to be the home of maintenance and supply vessels that will service vast wind farms in the North Sea.
An update on Hull’s Green Port Hull and Siemens development will also be provided at Renewing The Humber.
