Industry experts offer invaluable entrance opportunities into rapidly growing South East energy and clean growth sectors in free-to-attend virtual sessions
The Clean Growth South East programme is the first of its type, focusing solely on creating a diverse and exciting supply chain across the energy and clean growth sectors to deliver on Government’s ambitious 10-point clean energy plan. Sessions will be delivered providing a taster to each of the key areas of growth: Solar, Onshore Wind, and Offshore Wind and many more diverse topics.
The programme aims to engage businesses across a wide spectrum that will have clear skills that can be diversified to deliver within this industry providing multiple opportunities for local businesses looking to capitalise on a growing industry.
Delivered by expert clean energy consultants Opergy in partnership with Kent County Council and the South East Local Enterprise Partnership, the programme aims to engage with businesses across Essex, Kent, and East Sussex to understand their challenges and opportunities around achieving clean growth alongside key entrance opportunities.
Working with guest speakers including Vattenfall, the Offshore Renewable Catapult and East of England Energy Group (EEEGR).
The next 3 energy events are delivered in affiliation with the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) and cover the Offshore Wind, Solar Power and Onshore Wind sectors. The events will explore how businesses in the South East can benefit from and contribute to the upcoming opportunities available within the region in the race to Net Zero.
The East and South East are already hotspots for the UK’s clean energy sector, with more than 50% of the nation’s operational offshore wind fleet sitting off their coasts. Alongside this the South East is home to 77 Solar Photovoltaics sites with a further 15 projects awaiting construction, as well as 12 onshore wind farms with a total of 77 turbines across Kent, Essex and East Sussex.
It’s clear there is ample scope for South East businesses to enter the rapidly expanding clean growth sector, with over £62 billion forecast to be invested into the region by 2050, there is a wealth of opportunities in the pipeline for businesses to harness in the future.
The sessions aren’t just for businesses already involved in the sector, as the sessions are designed to help companies adapt their operations to become a part of the supply chain by giving them the information they need and the ability to assess whether they are bid-ready.
The sessions will also outline and explore the incentives and schemes available for companies looking to diversify and supply into the renewable energy market.
Opergy Managing Director Johnathan Reynolds said: “As we head towards carbon neutral, there’s clear opportunities available for businesses to enter the market and be a part of this exciting industry.”
“Any business looking to diversify into these rapidly growing sectors will find these sessions invaluable, with speakers from key players in industry including Vattenfall and the ORE Catapult,” he concluded.
