Energising Clare Conference returns for second  year

The very successful ‘Energising Clare Conference’ returns this year to Temple Gate Hotel, Ennis,  on Friday, February 27.  This half day conference is organised and hosted by Ennis Chamber with ESB as main sponsor and Rengen Power as support sponsor.

The renewable energy sector is of increasing importance to the economic future of County Clare, and represents significant future growth potential.

Key to the success of last year’s conference was the calibre of delegates in attendance and the opportunity for networking. The gathering this year will see senior representatives from all of the leading national and local renewable energy companies come together with elected representatives from County Clare, including councillors and TDs and senior management from Clare County Council. Also in attendance will be businesses operating in support of the sector including electrical firms and professional services including accountants and legal firms.

Margaret O’Brien, CEO, Ennis Chamber commented, “Energising Clare Conference was devised to present a platform to knowledge share, networking, discuss developments, challenges and opportunities within the renewable energy sector. With a terrific line-up of speakers, we are confident that this year’s conference will live up to the expectations set by last year’s event.”

Speakers at this year’s Energising Clare Conference include:  Minister of State Timmy Dooley TD, Noel Cunniffe CEO Wind Energy Ireland, Eoghan Conway, Customer Solutions Manager, ESB Smart Energy Services, Lucy Plant, Sales Director, Fluence Energy (Battery Energy Storage Systems), JP O’Brien, Head of Solar Project Delivery, Statkraft Ireland, Jason Murphy, Director of Service – Planning, Economic, Rural & Community Development Clare County Council, Mary Lynch, Delivery Director, FuturEnergy Ireland, Angie Nagle, CEO, BladeBridge and Anna Conlon, Head of Ireland Electrified
