The event takes place in the Hub adjacent to Kilkenny Mart from 10am with more than 50 exhibitors and talks covering biomass, wind, solar, heat pumps, biogas and energy storage.
Conference speakers include IFA renewables project chair James Murphy, Teagasc energy specialist Barry Caslin, Michael McCarthy from the Irish Solar Energy Association and PJ McCarthy from the Renewable Gas Forum Ireland, as well as farmers who have developed energy projects on their farms.
“Ireland is considered as one of the most promising European markets for renewables in the years ahead, especially as we approach 2020, when Ireland has a target of producing at least 16% of its energy from renewable sources,” said event director David Jacobmeyer.
Access to the exhibition section of the event is free upon prior online registration, or €10 on the day.
Tickets to the conference, which include access to the exhibition, are free through prior online registration for members of the IFA, Teagasc and IFAC, as well as students of Kildalton College, Waterford Institute of Technology and University of Limerick.
