AREG NEWS: AREG Supply Chain and Technology Network series to kick off this month

As part of the AREG Energy Futures network series, The Supply Chain and Technology Network, sponsored by Fennex and chaired by Neil McIntosh, director of Aberdeen International Associates (AIA), will meet virtually on Tuesday, 10 October from 1-2pm.

The 2023/24 supply chain and technology series will focus on innovation in renewables and the first of three meetings will explore the theme of health and safety, what we can learn from the oil and gas sector, and how technology can accelerate progress in renewables energy safety. The guest speakers for this network meeting will be Arron Baxter, Offshore Wind HSE Lead, Shell International Petroleum Company Limited, and Jack Brooke, Technical Safety Engineering Lead, Iberdrola Renewables Offshore.

Adrian Brown, managing director of Fennex, will provide a short overview of the work Fennex is doing to transition its existing technology, used for improving safety in the oil and gas sector, into renewables. The presentations will be followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic and ask questions.

To join the network meeting email [email protected], and the team will add you to the invite list.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
