Offshore Wind Transmission UK 2025

Aperçu

The UK is leading the charge in offshore wind, setting ambitious targets and advancing large-scale projects to drive its green energy transition. The sector still faces significant challenges, such as rising costs, complex regulatory processes, supply chain vulnerabilities, and a critical need for expanded transmission infrastructure. As the UK accelerates efforts to reach its net-zero emissions goal by 2050, developing an integrated transmission network becomes important in ensuring efficient integration of renewable energy sources, thus supporting the decarbonisation of the power sector. The regulatory choices, infrastructure investments, and technology deployments made today will be ins...trumental in shaping the future success of the UK's offshore wind ambitions. Recent initiatives by Ofgem and the restructured National Electricity System Operator (NESO) mark a decisive shift towards integrated planning, focusing on harmonising onshore and offshore transmission, maximising interconnector potential, and creating alignment across the wider energy system. This coordinated approach is set to build a more resilient, efficient energy network that meets the country’s growing offshore wind needs. In this context, Global Transmission Report is hosting its 4th Annual Conference on Offshore Wind Transmission UK on May 22, 2025, in London. The conference will serve as a collaborative platform to explore new opportunities and strategies to support the development of a robust transmission infrastructure that can power the UK’s offshore wind ambitions and drive the nation towards a sustainable energy future. The event will feature interactive sessions and presentations highlighting the evolving offshore wind transmission landscape. Attendees will include key stakeholders from government agencies, energy companies, technology innovators, transmission utilities, and industry experts, offering a unique opportunity to share insights, best practices, and solutions.
