Public asked to join energy conversations as OEUK hosts UK-wide debates

14 April 2025

Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) is delivering a series of live debates across the UK this spring, inviting the public to join important conversations about the future of the UK’s offshore energy industry.

The debates, set to take place in Aberdeen, Falkirk and Newcastle will feature a range of voices including industry leaders and the local community.

The UK’s offshore energy sector plays an important role in providing energy to homes and businesses. With the UK government currently consulting on key energy policies, and domestic energy production at record lows, these events offer a timely opportunity for local communities to learn more about offshore energies including oil, gas and renewables, ask questions and engage in a transparent dialogue about how the country can achieve a secure, affordable and sustainable energy future.

OEUK chief executive David Whitehouse said:   

“We’re hosting these events to open up the conversation on energy production. Whether you work in the offshore energy sector or not, these debates are a chance for everyone to have their say on what the UK’s energy future should look like. We want to hear from local communities, businesses and workers who will be affected by these decisions.”

The debates are free to attend and are aimed at anyone interested in the future of the UK’s energy supply, from workers in the sector, to people simply curious about how the nation will tackle its energy challenges in the years ahead.

OEUK is encouraging people from all walks of life to attend and actively participate in discussions on the UK’s energy future. These debates offer a valuable opportunity to ask questions, hear diverse viewpoints and engage directly with those influencing the country’s energy landscape. Registration for tickets is now open through a ballot system, with OEUK selecting attendees to ensure a broad range of perspectives.
