All-Energy 2026: rinnovabili, reti e sfide di realizzazione nel mercato UK

ERG attended the All-Energy Exhibition and Conference in Glasgow, one of the UK’s leading renewable energy events, bringing together over 13,000 participants, 300 exhibitors and 600 speakers.

The conference confirmed its position as a key meeting point for the sector, with a strong focus on renewables and the UK market.

How is the UK accelerating its energy transition?

A central takeaway from this year’s discussions is the strong commitment of the UK Government to its CleanPower30 plan, aiming to reach 95% renewable electricity by 2030, within a broader European debate on grids, electrification and market frameworks, as also discussed at Key Energy 2026 .

Why are electricity grids a critical bottleneck?

Much of the discussion focused on grid reform, which remains a major constraint for developers. Accelerating connection processes and strengthening infrastructure is now a priority, in line with the increasing focus on grid capacity and system balance highlighted in ERG’s contribution on grid constraints and system balance .

What role do market instruments play in enabling renewables?

The need for clearer planning signals and long-term visibility was highlighted, alongside the importance of stable market frameworks and instruments such as Power Purchase Agreements , which help reduce exposure to price volatility and support investment decisions.

What is the main challenge for the next phase of the energy transition?

The ambition is clear, but delivery remains the challenge. Progress depends on how quickly grid constraints are resolved and capacity is unlocked, shifting the focus from target setting to implementation, a transition already highlighted in the debate on market stability and renewable growth conditions .

Why is visibility on capacity crucial for developers?

For developers, understanding where and when grid capacity will be available is essential to move projects forward and ensure a stable pipeline of renewable investments in the UK market.
