Join us at this premier event

The UK is Europe’s leader in offshore wind and holds the global second place in installed offshore wind capacity. Being at OEEC will reinforce your position in the global market. 

The UK’s National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) this year announced an investment plan worth tens of billions of pounds to bolster the transmission infrastructure necessary to support the burgeoning offshore wind capacity. The plan includes connecting an additional 21 GW from Scottish waters, potentially bringing the UK’s total offshore wind capacity to 86 GW by 2035​. 

The UK government aims to have 5 GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030 for use across the economy, with much of this capacity being powered by offshore wind. This year, an offshore hydrogen project kicked off and marked the first time hydrogen was produced from seawater in a marine environment in the UK. 

According to the government, carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) will be essential to meeting the UK’s 2050 net zero target. In line with this, the government last year set out plans for a new competitive UK carbon capture, usage and storage market by 2035. As part of developing the new industry offshore, in 2021, The Crown Estate established the Offshore Wind and CCUS Co-location Forum to facilitate the coexistence between the two technologies at sea.  

The UK is also one of the world’s leaders in offshore technology innovation, as well as in advancing policies and regulations to enable the rollout of offshore wind, floating wind, green hydrogen and other projects.

Join us to meet with like-minded innovators from both the Netherlands and worldwide.  

From floating wind, CCS and CCUS, offshore hydrogen production, to transmission grids, each visitor from the UK will find a topic of interest at our conference panel sessions. Join OEEC 2024 and get all the latest knowledge acquired by the industry in one place!
