Solar and Storage Live is heading to the ExCel London on the 29-30th of April 2024!
Following the success of our flagship Birmingham event in October, Solar and Storage Live is branching out to various locations across Europe with our next event being in London. Solar and Storage Live London will be followed by Zurich (17-18 September 2024), Birmingham (24-26 September) and Barcelona (November).
Solar and Storage Live London will bring over 150 exhibitors, 250 speakers and 8000 attendees to the ExCel in April. Our free to attend exhibition and conference brings together all of the key players in the Solar, Storage and renewable energy space. Key participants include Solar Energy UK, MCS, POWERful Women and, our title sponsor, GivEnergy!
Solar Energy UK’s Chief Executive, Chris Hewett, will be opening the keynote theatre on the 29th of April. The opening remarks will be followed by a keynote presentation from Gillian Martin, the Minister for Energy and Environment for The Scottish Government.
On the 30th, there will be a keynote panel dedicated to the UK’s Solar Taskforce and their report titled ‘The UK’s ‘Solar Roadmap’, the report will be published prior to Solar and Storage Live London. At our Birmingham show, the Rt Hon Graham Stuart, Minister of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, and Chris Hewett discussed the creation of the UK’s Solar Taskforce and its main objective; to achieve the government and industry target of 70GwH of Solar capacity in the UK by 2035.
“The UK’s Solar Taskforce is a genuinely joint government-industry initiative co-chaired by myself and Graham Stuart. It has eight different members from the Solar Industry, also the UK Infrastructure Bank, the Energy Networks Association and MCS. The right people in the room. We’re going to release a report in the Spring 2024 and that will set the scene for what this government and future governments will do to deliver Solar.” – Chris Hewett, Chief Executive, Solar Energy UK
Addressing the future of Solar is incredibly important when ensuring the industry’s success. Recruitment, diversity, and inclusion will be fundamental pillars to this.
In Birmingham, Solar Energy UK launched The Recruitment Zone; a purpose-built stage attracting new job candidates into the Solar and Storage industry. The Recruitment Zone offered 100 job vacancies to candidates wanting to enter the industry or wanting a change of role within the renewable energy space.
Initiatives like the Recruitment Zone are to keep up with the rising demand for Solar in the UK. With the demand for Solar generation increasing, the industry will also grow, leading to the need of a larger Solar and Storage workforce. The Recruitment Zone helped highlight the challenge of filling the new roles in Solar and offered these new roles directly to aspiring candidates.
Due to its success, we are pleased to announce the Recruitment Zone will return at Solar and Storage Live London.
Solar and Storage Live are proud to continue our partnership with POWERful Women, the leading professional initiative dedicated on working towards a gender balanced, diverse and inclusive energy sector.
At the end of the opening day of Solar and Storage Live London, POWERful Women will be hosting their networking drinks where the industry can learn more about what POWERful Women do and how they can promote diversity and inclusion in the energy sector.
From all at Solar and Storage Live, we are looking forward to seeing you at Solar and Storage Live London on the 29-30th of April 2024.
