To meet the UK’s 2030 clean energy targets, substantial increases in both onshore and offshore wind capacities are necessary. The UK is currently the largest market for offshore wind in Europe, with 14 GW of installed capacity. The National Energy System Operator (NESO) indicates that an additional 28–35 GW of offshore wind will be required to reach a total of 43–50 GW by 2030.

Similarly, onshore wind capacity needs to double to 27 GW within the same timeframe.

The Wind Power Finance & Investment Summit UK is part of the Clean Energy 2030 Summits, co-located with: the UK Solar Summit and the Green Hydrogen Summit UK.

As part of the Clean Energy 2030 Summits, your access goes beyond wind – connect with decision-makers at the UK Solar Summit and the Green Hydrogen Summit UK to explore synergies, diversify investments, and capitalise on the full spectrum of renewable energy opportunities.
