A&D Carbon Solutions to Speak at the 2026 Wales Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference
A&D Carbon Solutions is proud to announce that our Chief Operations Officer, Sarah Pearce, will be speaking at the 2026 Wales Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition at ICC Wales, Newport.
The conference brings together leaders from across Welsh manufacturing to explore innovation, operational efficiency and strategies that strengthen long-term competitiveness.
Reducing Energy Risk in Welsh Manufacturing
Energy has become one of the most significant strategic risks facing manufacturers across Wales and the wider UK.
While price increases have attracted headlines, volatility and unpredictability now present the greater challenge. Sudden fluctuations in wholesale markets make accurate forecasting difficult and expose businesses to financial uncertainty.
In her session, Sarah will explore how Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are helping manufacturing organisations reduce exposure to volatile energy markets and secure long-term cost certainty.
Rather than being viewed purely as sustainability initiatives, onsite renewable energy solutions are increasingly being adopted as financial risk management strategies.
What Manufacturers Will Learn
Sarah’s presentation will focus on:
Why energy volatility is impacting operational forecasting
How Power Purchase Agreements work in a manufacturing setting
The financial benefits of predictable energy pricing
How PPAs can be implemented with no upfront capital investment
Why energy certainty is becoming a competitive advantage
By shifting from buying energy on the open market to securing energy through asset-backed agreements, manufacturers can regain control over one of their largest operational costs.
Supporting the Competitiveness of Welsh Industry
As a Welsh-based energy and carbon reduction specialist, A&D Carbon Solutions works with commercial and industrial clients across South and West Wales to deliver practical, commercially focused renewable energy solutions.
Our work with manufacturers centres on reducing operational risk, improving forecasting confidence and strengthening long-term resilience.
We look forward to joining fellow industry leaders at the Wales Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference 2026 and contributing to the conversation around energy strategy and industrial competitiveness.
If you are attending the event and would like to discuss how a Power Purchase Agreement could support your organisation, we would be pleased to connect.
