Small scale wind energy has significant potential in urban, suburban and industrial areas, but numerous challenges currently stand in the way to wide-scale uptake of this decentralised energy resource.

At this conference, organised in the framework of the European SWIP project, you will learn about new technological developments in small wind turbines, and how to best integrate small turbines into urban areas, taking account of aesthetic impact, noise, vibration and safety issues, social awareness and acceptance, and regulatory and commercial limitations.

The conference will be of interest for national and regional policy-makers public bodies and other stakeholders in the wind energy sector looking to understand how to increase the use of Small Wind Turbines in cities and regions across Europe.

The conference will include a moderated discussion and will be followed by a networking reception.

Attendance is free, but registration is required.
