AREG NEWS: Registrations for AREG Energy Futures dinner to close on November 9th

A limited number of tables and seats remain for AREG’s Energy Futures dinner at P&J Live, Aberdeen on November 15, where international guest speaker Lolita Jackson, MBE will address a packed audience.

The dinner, sponsored by Shell, concludes a day of insightful discussion, debate and networking following the organisation’s inaugural conference and exhibition. Sales for tables and individual seats close on November 9.

The evening activities start at 6.30pm with a drinks reception and networking opportunities from 9pm. Bookings for the evening dinner can be made here. Dress code is business attire.

Lolita Jackson, MBE, executive director of communications and sustainable cities at Sustainable Development Capital LLP, acts as a link to governments around the world on COP, UN and climate business engagement.

She previously worked for the NYC Mayor’s office where she held roles including climate diplomat for the city and director of outreach for the post Hurricane Sandy resilience team and has excelled in a career focused on climate improvements and resilience within communities.

As a survivor of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the 1993 bombing, she will highlight how her life changing experiences have influenced her career.

AREG chair, Jean Morrison, MBE, commented:

“Our evening event concludes a busy and insightful day, focused on the opportunities and actions related to the energy transition here in the North-east. The dinner is a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the success of our first event, and to look ahead to the future and how we can all make a difference.”

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.
