Over half of Great Britain’s existing onshore wind fleet will face end-of-life decisions by 2035. Developers will need to decide whether to decommission, life-extend or repower sites. Regen’s new analysis shows that repowering could add around 690 MW of additional onshore wind capacity by 2035, rising to around 6 GW by 2050 if barriers are addressed.

Join Regen for the launch of our latest insight paper, produced in association with Nadara and Osborne Clarke. Drawing on industry expertise and real-world project examples, the paper examines the key challenges currently limiting repowering – including planning, grid access, market frameworks, community benefits and circular-economy considerations and sets out practical recommendations to unlock the next phase of onshore wind development.

The session will introduce the paper’s findings and provide an opportunity for discussion with industry stakeholders on the role repowering can play in delivering the UK’s clean power ambitions.

Kindly hosted by Osborne Clarke.

The Electricity Storage Network Annual Conference is a platform for key industry players and policymakers to gather and debate what’s needed to attract and maintain the billions of pounds of investment required for this crucial asset class – from supportive policy and regulatory frameworks to shifting revenue strategies and evolving business models. 

With over 5 GW of grid-scale battery storage operational and a 3 GW pipeline of new pumped hydro storage projects, plus other technologies in development, grid-scale electricity storage is established as key to a zero-carbon energy system – a testament to the success of our 100+ members.

And with an ambitious Clean Power 2030 action plan for accelerated clean power, against the backdrop of significant grid connection and market reform, and a long duration energy storage cap and floor scheme, the role of storage and flexibility is more important than ever.

At the ESN Annual Conference you’ll hear directly from our members and key decision makers from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ofgem and the National Energy System Operator on the latest changes across a range of topics critical to the storage sector, including Clean Power 2030, the revenue environment, long duration energy storage, grid connection reform and fire safety.

This is also an opportunity to learn about the ESN’s work to ensure policy, markets and regulation are geared to enable the storage sector to flourish and grow at the pace and scale required while networking with 300+ industry leaders in central London.
