The UK is one of the leading countries in the world for renewable energy. With ambitious environmental and carbon reduction targets set by the government, as well as various subsidies in place, renewable energy generation is set to increase significantly.

The speaker for this event is Randolph Brazier.

His talk will discuss the current state of renewables in the UK, including solar, wind, tidal, geothermal and hydro. It will also discuss the opportunities and challenges that the sector faces, as well as the role that renewables are to play in achieving the targets set by government.

The floor will then be opened up in a facilitated discussion for questions, comments and further discussion about the opportunities and challenges.
