Grid & Networks Conference 2026 About the Event
The UK Government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan requires grid reinforcements to be delivered at an uncompromising pace, demanding rapid and coordinated delivery if technology deployment targets are to be met. In this new era of Connections Reform and strategic energy planning, grid connections remain pivotal to every major project decision.
As the first revised connection offers emerge from the reform process, the renewable energy industry’s attention is now fixed on one question: can delivering a modern electricity network keep up with the ambition to ramp up our clean power capacity?
As industry navigates this period of change, Scottish Renewables is bringing together leading experts to share their insights on how we can weather these forces of uncertainty to achieve a decarbonised future. Join us at Scottish Renewables’ Grid & Networks Conference to hear from expert speakers and gain insight on the future direction of a modern electricity network.
You’ll learn:
- The key barriers that must be addressed to ensure timely network build-out and project connections in time for 2030 and beyond
- The latest views on how network charging and spatial planning will be aligned in a new energy system and what emerging regulatory frameworks could mean for Scottish projects
