The East of England has been at the heart of the UK’s energy landscape for over 50 years, and the region certainly isn’t slowing down as renewables take centre stage. The region is a global hub for energy activity, becoming specialist in the energy transition and leading the way towards Net Zero.
This is great news for sustainability in the region, propelling the green economy forward with millions of pounds worth of investment, creating hundreds of jobs and business opportunities all within the clean energy agenda.
EEEGR’s SNS event brings together operators, developers, and supply chain companies from across the region in one place, allowing you to get face-to-face with industry leaders and decision makers in a rare opportunity.
A large part of the event focuses on promoting the East of England as a clean energy producer. The infrastructure and potential already in place; the vital task ahead is to drive that message and ensure the region is at the heart of the energy transition with a clear voice at Westminster.
SNS 2022 Energy Integrated in the East focuses on the entire region, offering the Cambridgeshire supply chain and wider business community valuable prospects and the chance to learn how their business fits into the energy mix.
The event is supported by some of Europe’s leading operators alongside prominent organisations and projects including ScottishPower Renewables, GENERATE, Vattenfall, OPITO, Equinor, Oil & Gas Authority, Proeon Systems and Sizewell C.
