This conference will be conducted in English.

This year’s event will focus on:

• Accessing project finance: Which organisations are currently investing? What financing options are available? Can long term investment be stimulated?
• The continuation of the feed in tariff: At what level will the tariff be secured? Will this lead to sustainable project financing?
• Overcoming long project lead-in times: How can the issue of insufficient grid connection points be resolved? Can the permitting process be made simpler?
• Developing the offshore wind industry: What technologies are under development? Where does your organisation fit into achieving 750MW by 2020?
• Examining increasing environmental concerns: Will tensions increase as the onshore market further matures? What are the key environmental concerns?
• Cross country grid interconnection: How best to create a balancing market with Europe and North Africa? Can voltage issues be resolved with Spain?
• Storage and its role in integrating wind: What role will be played by batteries and electric vehicles?
