Feedback from the leaders of the breakout sessions at the IWA Re-energising Wales event "Harnessing the potential: renewable energy in the Swansea Bay City Region" at the National Maritime Museum, Swansea on 30th April 2018. Question posed to the groups was:  “What are the short and medium term opportunities to make progress towards 100% renewable energy in the Swansea Bay City Region (SBCR)?”. Groups were as follows: 1\. Buildings (Led by Keith Watts, IWA) What are the short and medium term opportunities to drive energy efficiency measures and on-site generation of renewable energy across the SBCR building stock. What is already happening, and what can we build on?  2\. Harnessing offshore wind and marine energy (Led by Auriol Miller, IWA) What are the short and medium term opportunities to harness offshore wind and marine energy in the SBCR? What is already happening, and what can we build on?  3\. Onshore Renewable Electricity Generation (Led by Stuart Irvine, Swansea University)
