About this event

Join us in Aberdeen for coffee, insights and conversation as we explore the UK and global outlook for the energy industry, and where the real opportunities lie for our members over the next 12–24 months.

Exclusive to EIC members, this Members Update will provide a forward-looking view of the sectors and geographies set to see the strongest activity, investment and project momentum, helping you align your business development strategy with where the market is moving.

Our market intelligence experts will share the latest data and analysis across key energy sectors, highlighting:

UK Market Momentum
The UK energy sector continues to evolve rapidly, driven by ambitious decarbonisation targets and policy support:
• Solar remains a major growth area, with 356 projects in the pipeline representing 28GW of capacity as the UK works toward its 70GW by 2035 target.
• Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) the UK market is moving forward and with government funds supporting the progress of project developments, the first FIDs are expected in the next 12-24 months.
• Onshore wind is accelerating, with 301 projects and 21GW in development, supporting the ambition to double capacity by 2030.
• Offshore wind remains a cornerstone sector, with 92 projects totalling more than 110GW — including significant growth in floating wind and upcoming leasing rounds.
• CCS and hydrogen continue to mature, with a number of projects progressing toward FID, strengthening the UK’s position in the global energy transition.

Global Outlook & Emerging Hotspots
Beyond the UK, we’ll examine international markets where capital expenditure and project pipelines are forecast to grow, identifying the regions and sectors where members are most likely to see tangible opportunities in the near to medium term.
Whether your focus is renewables, oil and gas, low carbon technologies, or emerging transition markets, this session will help you understand:
• Where investment is accelerating
• Which sectors are moving from planning to execution
• How supply chain demand is expected to evolve
• What this means for your commercial positioning

This is also a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow members, exchange market intelligence, and discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping our industry.
We look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be an insightful and commercially focused session.
