From ideas to influence

Momentum Mornings

Join E-FWD for an exclusive breakfast briefing that will help shape the future of energy across Aberdeen and the North East

Location: The Marcliffe Hotel, N Deeside Rd, Pitfodels, Aberdeen AB15 9YA

Date: Wednesday 07 May 2025 | 07:30 - 11:00

This briefing aims to help catalyse economic growth in the region.

Aberdeen has been crucial to the development of oil and gas and has high hopes for new growth in offshore wind. However, windfall taxes on oil and gas have undercut investment plans. And the UK also has the some of the highest electricity prices in the OECD.

So, what comes next? What can - or should - change?

Hear from industry insiders onstage, through interviews and panel sessions, alongside high-level networking. And it's the return of the tents as we host two key workshopping sessions.

Workshop 1 - What next for the North Sea’s fiscal regime? 

Workshop 2 - Can the electricity market be reformed without sinking Scotland’s offshore wind hopes? 

Register your interest to join us in Aberdeen. Fill in your details and one of our team will be in touch. 

E-FWD speaks for the businesses that will shape the future of UK energy. We connect industry and politicians with the aim of pushing energy forward, together.

Workshop 1

What next for the North Sea’s fiscal regime?
The UK government is consulting on a successor regime to replace the Energy Profits Levy when it is finally phased out in 2030. 

It wants a predictable fiscal response to future oil and gas price shocks. Should it be profit or revenue based? What about the oil-gas split? What even is a windfall? And, crucially, will there be anything left to tax by 2030?

Workshop 2

Can we reform the electricity market while protecting offshore wind?
The future is electrified, but the UK has among the highest power prices in the OECD.

The UK government is on a mission to cut bills, but Scottish offshore wind developers are warning that a move to zonal pricing will jeopardise investment in new projects.

Is there a solution that pleases everyone as REMA moves to its conclusion? Come along and be in the tent on May 7.
