Now in its third year, the conference – delivered by The Scotsman – brings together all those involved in green energy development in the Highlands of Scotland.

The conference will be hosted at the Kingsmills Hotel in Inverness and the lineup includes keynote speeches, Q&As and panel discussions with Highland Renewables, The Highland Council, HIE, UHI, Statkraft, Vattenfall and Fred. Olsen Renewables.

Yvonne Crook, Chair of Highland Renewables (CIC), will deliver a keynote speech entitled ‘Mapping our sustainable future together’: “ Highland Renewables (CIC) has been integral in our community’s vision for a sustainable future. Our innovative partnership between tourism and renewables has been key to establishing a strategic framework that prioritises community leadership and aims to position the Highlands as a global leader in sustainable development.

“Together, our initiatives are set to redefine the Highlands narrative as a destination, whether that be to live, work, visit, study or invest. Our unique partnership will enable us to highlight the Highlands as a pioneering destination for sustainability on the world stage. Collaborating with the Green Energy conference is essential for engaging all stakeholders in the emerging green revolution and we look forward to sharing the results of four years of community engagement and mapping our sustainable future together”.

The conference will focus on critical discussions relating to Scotland’s role in the global renewable energy shift, the impact of the Highlands and Islands region on green energy development and key innovations and strategies for a sustainable future.

Rebecca Thompson, Head of Events at The Scotsman, said: “We’re delighted to have Highland Renewables (CIC) and associate partner for our annual green energy conference in Inverness. The Highlands and Islands are a leader in Scotland’s renewable innovation, but also play a vital role in bringing together business and communities in shaping a more sustainable future. The conference, now in its third year, will look at how the regional landscape has changed since our 2024 event, and the opportunities for future growth.”
