Delegates included manufacturers, installers, certification organisations, investors and many more with an interest in the global small wind market.

Two days of informative and interactive conference sessions explored the latest policy and technological developments demonstrating how far the global small wind sector has come. The third annual small wind event accommodated high calibre speakers from the UK, Japan, Spain, Italy and the US who shared their insights on the key drivers for this sector, examined the issues affecting growth and looked to the next chapter of this thriving sector.

40 companies active in the small wind sector were on display, providing visitors a unique opportunity to learn more about the technology and the vast benefits of generating power from small wind systems.

We would like to thank everyone who supported the conference, especially our sponsors, exhibitors and speakers, who made this event a great success
