You are cordially invited to an event hosted by Aker Solutions in collaboration with the British Norwegian Chamber of Commerce: Norway and the UK: The future power region of Europe.
As European Governments grapple with the seemingly opposing agendas to provide sufficient secure, reliable, clean and affordable energy, this event will explore the most pressing barriers to be overcome for Norway and the UK to become the future power region of Europe.
The event will be moderated by Stephen Bull, Chair of Renewable UK and include short presentations and a panel discussion with excellent speakers.
Key topics for discussion will include:
- Ongoing renewable energy and CCUS opportunities in the UK and Norway,
- Risk/reward collaboration models,
- Preparing for increased electricity demand and strengthening the grid,
- Leveraging competence from the oil & gas sector towards renewables,
- Building robust supply chains to meet energy needs.
