A DNO’s Perspective – How We’re Responding, Stephen Halsey, Distributed

Generation Development Manager, UK Power Networks.

Panel discussion and Q&A Against the backdrop, some would say, of short-termism, under investment and technical challenges, you could be forgiven for thinking that UK power businesses are struggling to bring their renewables to the grid. Yet amid all the uncertainty UK Power Networks have actually been reporting steady, uninterrupted growth in the level of enquiries to do just that! Is this proof, if proof were needed, that the industry is still very much alive and kicking or simply another indication of pent-up demand failing to supply? What are your views? This IET Conference brings together large and small renewable generators with government and a forward thinking distribution generation operator for a stimulating discussion on current and future plans for renewable generation connection to the grid. The session brings a key note speaker from the IET Policy Panel, positional statements from an expert panel and, most importantly, a large amount of time for your observations, questions and suggestions.

Encompassing Canada’s four most easterly provinces, Atlantic Canada boosts the last large-scale hydroelectric project in North America, the highest tides in the world on the Bay of Fundy, and some of the best wind resources recorded in eastern North America. Harnessing the power potential of tidal in the Bay of Fundy and hydro on the Lower Churchill River in Newfoundland and Labrador are priorities of governments, utilities, developers, and supply companies. Atlantic Canada is leading the way in renewable energy in North America. This panel takes a look at the government policies that enable it, the community support that drives it, and technological expertise that facilitates it. Facilitator: Barbara Pike, CEO, The Maritimes Energy Association

Panel discussion and Q&A Energy System Integration - European North Sea Energy Alliance Workshop Room 15 14:30-15:30 Since energy is a cross-border issue, countries and regions have to cooperate. To create an integrated system, research is vital. The ENSEA partners – comprising Scotland, Germany, Norway and the Netherlands – are working together to share knowledge on cross-border issues and research in areas such as energy infrastructure, balancing energy, technology, innovation and employment.



ENSEA www.ensea.biz was funded by the EU's FP7 ‘Regions of Knowledge’ programme to help identify opportunities for private companies and higher education institutes to develop projects for future EU programmes - particularly Horizon 2020. The current focus of ENSEA is to address the opportunities and challenges of integrating high levels of renewables into energy networks. The workshop will outline ENSEA’s aims and objectives, seek to formulate Scotland's strengths in this area with input from the audience, and identify areas of opportunity for projects – and businesses.
