Member News: OEUK Illuminates New Business Opportunities for the UK Energy Supply Chain at Share Fair 2026

The UK’s leading energy supply chain event returns on 19 March 2026, attracting companies across oil and gas, offshore wind, geothermal, and carbon capture and storage (CCUS) sectors. Share Fair 2026, delivered in partnership with the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), will once again provide an essential platform for business development through collaboration, innovation, and through sharing insight of business opportunities across the UK offshore energy sector.

This year’s Share Fair is proudly supported by its Principal Sponsor, Aurora Energy Services, and Supporting Sponsor, Well-Safe Solutions.

Share Fair is designed to strengthen engagement between buyers and suppliers, aiding business development and enabling both sides to explore routes to working together on future UK energy projects. Attendees will gain exclusive access to market intelligence on upcoming activities and emerging projects alongside the hugely popular one-to-one meetings, which ensure supply chain companies can secure meetings with key decision-makers and potential new clients.

With over 25 operator, developers and major contractors sharing their forward plans at this event, supply chain attendees will have the opportunity to broaden awareness of how their capabilities, technologies, and specialised services can help address current industry challenges. With a full programme of presentations and networking sessions throughout the day, companies have many opportunities to raise their profile, showcase innovation, and forge new commercial partnerships.

Reflecting the sector’s drive to deliver the UK’s net-zero ambitions, Share Fair 2026 will feature contributions from organisations across offshore wind, oil and gas, hydrogen, geothermal, and CCUS, offering a comprehensive view of where future opportunities lie.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
