This conference was an opportunity to discuss priorities for energy policy in Wales as powers to approve energy projects up to 350MW were due to be devolved to the Welsh Government.
Delegates assessed the potential for Wales to take a lead on low-carbon energy, and the priorities including planning reform and steps to secure private and European Commission funding.
Sessions also looked at challenges for the future of energy distribution including the development of smart grids and improving capacity to support increased volumes of renewable energy and distributed generation.
The conference brought together key policymakers from the European Commission, and Welsh and UK Governments with stakeholders across the energy sector as well as energy-intensive businesses, consumer groups, environmental organisations, local authorities, academics, and others with an interest in these important issues.
