As we accelerate the transition towards a clean energy system, there has rightly been a focus on building much-needed projects and infrastructure. But has enough time been given to what happens when assets reach the end of their operational lives?
With more than half of GB's existing onshore wind fleet alone expected to face end-of-life decisions by 2035, alongside a growing pipeline of solar and other renewable technologies, the sector is approaching a critical turning point. Decisions made over the coming decade - whether to repower, life-extend or decommission - will have significant implications for planning, investment, supply chains, communities and the pace of the energy transition.
Join Regen for a timely half-day seminar bringing together policymakers, developers, planners, investors and industry experts from England, Wales and Scotland to explore the opportunities and challenges of renewable asset end-of-life. Through expert insights and panel discussions, we'll examine the policy landscape, unpack the barriers to repowering and decommissioning, and identify the practical solutions needed to maximise the value of existing renewable sites while supporting the UK's clean energy ambitions.
Whether you're shaping policy, developing projects or planning for the next generation of renewable infrastructure, this event will provide valuable insight into one of the sector's most important emerging conversations.
This event is sponsored by EMR, Nadara and 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.

The Electricity Storage Network is the industry group for electricity storage in Great Britain. Managed by Regen, it brings together more than 100 organisations and 500 industry professionals who are working to develop, operate and supply storage in the GB market.
Rebecca leads our work on planning at Regen. She holds a PhD in environmental planning and has significant expertise in community benefits and community engagement for renewable energy projects. She is a recognised expert on planning for renewable energy and her research has been used to shape planning policy.
Rebecca’s recent work includes our Local Planning for Renewables paper and a project with the Royal Town Planning Institute exploring the links between Local Area Energy Planning and spatial planning. Rebecca also leads our members working group on planning.
Prior to joining Regen, Rebecca worked as a senior lecturer in environmental planning, where she designed and led masters-level teaching on renewable energy. She has won a number of awards for her work, including the Economic and Social Research Council Award for outstanding early career impact.
Becky is a project manager specialising in offshore renewable energy, with an MSc in the field. She works closely with project developers and the wider supply chain to accelerate offshore energy deployment around the UK while maximising societal and system benefits. Becky also contributes to thought leadership pieces and consultation responses, shaping industry discussions on offshore energy.
Becky has worked with the electricity networks, devolved governments and local authorities, giving her a broad perspective on the energy transition. She contributed to Regen’s response to the 2024 Review of Energy Market Arrangements (REMA) consultation and sits on the PRIMaRE Steering Committee and Plymouth’s Net Zero Exchange Steering Group, influencing industry alignment and regional development.
As Regen’s social secretary, Becky brings just as much energy to team events as she does to her work. While organising her Girl Guides is notoriously easier than corralling the team, it does mean the team has a great time together, inside and outside the office.
Charlotte specialises in data collection, analysis, mapping and visualisation to support Regen’s insight papers and project reports. Her work focuses on communicating complex energy concepts in a clear and accessible way. Since joining Regen, she has contributed to the 2023 and 2024 iterations of the Distributed Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) for Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks and National Grid Electricity Distribution. She has also led the Devon Renewable Energy Progress Report analysis and contributed to various decarbonisationreports, research projects and government consultations.
A huge congratulations goes to all those shortlisted for the 2024 Green Energy Awards.
