Key Ideas
- The UK is making significant strides in renewable energy, with aims to reach 95% clean electricity by 2030.
- Solar capacity has grown to 21GW with further expansion expected in 2025, while wind power has seen substantial investments, reaching 30GW.
- Green hydrogen development is accelerating in the UK, with projects in planning stages and operational capacities, supported by government initiatives.
- The Clean Power 2030 Summit in London will convene key stakeholders to collaborate on scaling renewable deployment and securing necessary investments.
The UK Solar Summit will be part of the Clean Power 2030 Summits in London on 1-2 July 2025, alongside the Wind Power Finance & Investment Summit and Green Hydrogen Summit. With the UK targeting 95% clean electricity by 2030 and having transitioned over 62% of its electricity supply to low-carbon sources, renewable energy momentum is strong. Solar capacity has reached 21GW, wind capacity is over 30GW with significant investments, and green hydrogen projects are on the rise.
The Summits aim to bring together industry players to drive the transition towards clean energy. The event will feature Minister Michael Shanks MP discussing the government's strategic vision for clean power by 2030. The Summits coincide with reforms to the Contracts for Difference scheme and emphasize offshore wind capacity and renewable deployment. Key highlights include the UK Solar Summit focusing on solar's role, the Wind Power & Investment Summit connecting officials and investors, and the Green Hydrogen Summit addressing the scaling of green hydrogen.
Networking opportunities include the Clean Power 2030 Industrial Working Group, a Drinks Reception, and a SAF Implementation Strategy Workshop focusing on sustainable aviation fuel and hydrogen technologies. The goal is to foster collaboration, innovation, and secure investments needed for a successful energy transition.
