Renewable Power Generation (RPG 2022) Meeting net zero carbon conference

The 11th International Conference on Renewable Power Generation

The conference has now taken place - watch out for information on RPG 2024!

RPG 2022 brought together international academics, researchers, engineers, consultants, and policy makers working in renewable energy, to review the latest technical developments, share knowledge and forge new partnerships.

About the event

Through in-depth discussion and engaging conversation, RPG 2022 also considered the role of renewables in a net zero future, and the innovations needed to overcome challenges, including resource scarcity, continued scale-up, efficiency improvements, cost reductions, embedded carbon reductions and power system planning and operation with close to 100% renewables.

Speakers from National Grid, EirGrid, BEIS, REA, CCC, ORE Catapult, ES Catapult, Statnett, PRASEG discussed the role of renewables in a net zero future: scale up, cost, and they also shed light on how do we accelerate growth of renewables to achieve net zero and energy security.

Testimonials from previous delegates

“An intimate event with an abundance of fantastic content focussing on our passion to meet #NetZero. A spectacular series of invited speakers really set this conference apart from many others.”  - Alex Pettener, Siemens Energy

“The need for renewable energy has never been greater. RPG was a great opportunity to exchange ideas and views, and to provide our innovators and researchers with a chance to showcase their work.” – Jeff Douglas, Independent Energy Specialist

“Excellent conference! Great and latest developments and efforts could be seen about net zero from so many companies and academics, all kinds of wonderful insight and different perspectives of new technologies are given. Nice to see so many fantastic people!”  

“A really worthwhile two days of listening, learning and sharing. Also an excellent platform for young innovators to showcase their developments.”
