Round 3 business opportunities: All-Energy is THE place to be! 

ROUND THREE: on 8 January The Crown Estate announced the successful bidders for each of the nine Round 3 offshore wind zones within UK waters.

All-Energy - the UK's largest renewable energy show - is the perfect event in the perfect place for you to join in the transformation of the UK's offshore wind capacity. Add to that the decision by the Scottish Government to approve the Beauly-Denny power line and it's already been quite a year for exciting business opportunities.
