Some of the leading players in the North East's energy industry have come together to discuss the transition to low carbon generation and how regional suppliers could benefit.
The meeting - convened by business development organisation NOF - was held at what has been described as a "pivotal moment" for the sector and featured senior representatives from firms such as bp, Orsted, Equinor, GE, Petrofac, Wood and px Group. Delegates discussed the role of UK suppliers in shaping net zero plans.
Amongst the issues discussed was recognition that increased Government ambitions across different energy industries would lead to pinch points in supply chains and concern that high profit industries will outbid others, limiting progress. The group - which met virtually and in person - talked about increased demands for products and services and the need to adequately train the workforce to meet project timelines.
