Denise Hone, Stakeholder and Community Engagement for the Norfolk Zone at Vattenfall, said: “This is an exciting next step for everyone at Vattenfall, having signed contracts with significant Tier 1 suppliers this is an opportunity for them to meet and engage with the existing local supply chain. These contractors will have a local presence for many years to come and this event further demonstrates the commitment that these projects have made to the region, nourishing the local supply chain.”
The largest energy event in the region, SNS2023 will focus on addressing the key issues facing the industry and provide insights into the industry’s future vision. The event’s them “Vision 2030”, aims to explore how the energy landscape in the East of England and the region’s capabilities can propel the UK’s goal of net-zero by 2050 forward. It will also highlight how 2030 milestones are being met in the region.
Rob Bush, General Manager at EEEGR, said: “With time running out to meet ambitious targets, 2030 will take centre stage at this year’s event. It will look at the entire energy picture, from renewables to oil & gas, and rapidly growing sectors such as hydrogen, CCUS and geothermal.”
