BWEA29banner

BWEA's conferences are renowned for their high quality of content and high profile of presenters. Over the course of three days, the BWEA29 conference focused on the political, economic and technical aspects of the UK wind, wave and tidal energy industry.

Over 100 speakers took to the platform, from energy and environment ministers to champions of industry, to highlight the urgent need to invest in wind, wave and tidal power and the opportunities this will bring to the UK, and to address the remaining barriers facing the continued growth of the industry.
