Event Summary:

This event will focus on what the newly appointed UK Conservative majority government will mean for the renewables landscape both domestically and in the European market.  

In particular discussions will focus on;

What the implications will be for funding low carbon technologies, such as onshore wind and solar?

What would “Brexit” - a British exit from the 28-nation EU -  mean for;

         - Renewables investors into the UK in comparison with other European countries such as France, Spain, and Germany
         - 
Any concerted EU political and diplomatic strategy to deliver a strong Paris climate agreement

What further changes can we expect to the UK energy policy and potential imprints it may leave on the sector as the UK looks to lead the way on developing pioneering renewable technologies?
