Webinar The future generation mix dominated by renewables: How will we get there? is sponsored by SmartestEnergy.
Over the last eight years, the UK's energy mix has changed drastically. SmartestEnergy's 2019 Energy Entrepreneurs Report revealed the capacity of independent renewable projects had increased by nearly 200% since 2012. Earlier this year we saw a record run of 67 days without coal, demonstrating just how much the UK energy system has transformed.
Renewables are playing an ever more important role as we strive to meet net-zero targets by 2050. But how do we get to a future generation mix dominated by renewables?
In this session, our speakers will explore and debate the commercial challenges for the independent generation sector. We'll also look at the political and regulatory landscape and discuss whether the sector is getting the support it needs to accelerate the deployment of renewable projects.
Chair and speaker: Angus Widdowson, Head of Smart Generation Sales, SmartestEnergy
