Aberdeen 6th of May – Capability & Capacity

Join OEUK in May for our next breakfast briefings, where we’ll look at the trends reshaping the global and UK offshore wind landscape in 2026. This is your chance to get ahead of a rapidly evolving market – with clear, confident insight into where projects, investment and policy are really heading.
If you want the facts, the forecasts and the forces shaping the next decade of UK offshore wind, this is the event you can’t afford to miss.
We’ll be launching the Wind Insight 2026 alongside our updated UK Offshore Wind Farm Development Processes Guidelines. You’ll gain a global perspective on the shifting pipeline of projects, UK market dynamics and outcomes of the 7th Contract for Difference (AR7) offshore wind auction.
This breakfast will focus on the readiness of the Scottish supply chain and what’s needed to capture opportunities coming through ScotWind and INTOG.
This event will provide insight into:
  • Trends in the global and UK offshore wind markets and market drivers
  • Project pipeline clarity – Risk-adjusted project outlooks
  • Grid reform, Transmission Network Use of System Charges (TNUoS) impacts and curtailment challenges
  • The long-term price and policy picture beyond 2030
  • The role of homegrown energy supporting resilience, industrial capability and long-term growth
This breakfast is ideal for:
  • Energy industry leaders
  • Supply chain companies navigating the transition
  • Policymakers shaping energy and industrial strategy
  • Investors evaluating UK and Scottish pipelines
  • Professionals across manufacturing, fabrication, ports, marine and project delivery
Through this breakfast briefing, you’ll gain a grounded understanding of how offshore wind can drive investment, protect jobs and deliver the reliable, homegrown energy system the UK needs.

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.
