E-FWD continues its UK roadshow with the return of its Momentum Mornings event series to Aberdeen.
Hosted at the Marcliffe Hotel on May 7 2025, the exclusive briefing will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and key stakeholders to discuss the future of the energy sector in Aberdeen.
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 through interviews and panel sessions, alongside high-level networking. The event will also feature E-FWD’s iconic tents, where attendees will have the opportunity to participate in one of two key discussions.
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 the electricity market be reformed without sinking Scotland’s offshore wind hopes?
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?
The event will be hosted by Energy Voice news editor, Erikka Askeland and feature special guests, Francesco Mazzagatti, CEO of VIARO Energy and Ryan Crighton, senior parter at True North Advisors. The session will be moderated by Sepi-Golzari Munro, Strategist, Writer and E-FWD energy expert.
