Dublin firm Beauchamps Solicitors will sponsor tomorrow’s Solar Ireland conference in Belfast.

Gavin Blake, partner in the Beauchamps renewable energy group, will moderate the third conference session, which includes a panel discussion on “Can solar be deployed on a large scale on the island by 2020?”.

Mr Blake told Irish Legal News: “Beauchamps is excited to have the opportunity to sponsor the Solar Ireland Conference on 8 June and sees solar PV as being a potentially valuable contributor in terms of achieving the target of 40 per cent electricity from renewables by 2020.

“As one of Ireland’s leading law firms in the renewable energy space, we are currently seeing a huge level of activity on the ground in the Republic of Ireland as solar developers compete for the best sites for prospective large scale ground mounted projects.”
