AREG’s Renewable Energy-Young Professionals Network focuses on professional development, networking and sharing industry insights amongst young professionals working within the energy sector. Chaired by Megan Mcbeath, Marketing Executive for Glacier Energy, uses her own experience as a Young Professional and her success in growing within the industry to provide insights for fellow YP’s and contributes to the success of this network.

AREG’s Renewable Energy-Young Professionals Network supports the growth of young professionals in the energy sector by focusing on professional development, networking, and sharing industry insights. Through events and initiatives, the network helps emerging talent build skills, expand connections, and gain valuable knowledge to succeed in the renewable energy field.
By facilitating the sharing of knowledge and experiences, the network aims to empower the next generation of leaders in the renewable energy field, helping them to navigate and succeed in this dynamic and rapidly evolving industry.
Our first Young Professionals event of 24/25 membership year was held in collaboration with our Communications network and focused on Breaking into the Energy Industry and Navigating Career Paths.

This exciting event fostered insights from AGR (Advanced Global Recruitment) and TIDE (Transition through Inclusion and Diversity for Equity). View webinar recording here.

Our next Young Professionals event is due to take place on the 27th of November and has been designed to connect you with industry leaders and explore valuable career opportunities. Sign up to attend this event here and contact [email protected] for information on sponsorship opportunities.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
