Over the last 3 years, the UK has commissioned more than 10GW of renewable energy in Biomass, Energy from Waste, Solar and Wind (onshore and offshore) collectively.

This injection of capacity commissioned to the grid, 4.5GW of which specifically came from Offshore Wind, has taken the overall capacity generated in the UK to 43GW.

This report is our first to use data exclusively from our O&M database, EICAssetMap, to analyse this growth and predict where the UK renewables sector might go in the years to come.

Despite Covid-19 impacting activity in the oil and gas sector, globally the cost of decommissioning is still expected to be worth around USD$200 billion over the next 20 years, with around 49% expected to be spent on well plug and abandonment alone.

While the UK is still expected to be the largest market for decommissioning in Europe, future regions of opportunity are: the Middle East, APAC (in particular Australia, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia) and Latin America (Brazil).

Each of these regions has its own unique challenges, however several countries have begun to seriously think about the development of their roadmaps for decommissioning including India, Malaysia, Brunei, and Brazil.

Survive and Thrive 2020 (Volume IV) charts the course that 40 EIC member companies have taken to grow against a backdrop of continued market uncertainty, UK China trade tensions, OPEC disagreements, low or negative oil and gas prices and COVID-19, compounded by very tight margins, fierce competition, and Brexit looming large.

This year we revisit the same eight growth strategies identified in previous years and plot those that have risen and fallen in popularity. The research revealed three further areas that business leaders have found to be key to growth, and hence are included this year for the first time, namely transformation, culture and energy transition.

Now in its 5th year, the highly-acclaimed EIC Survive and Thrive Insight Report surveyed more than 60 energy supply chain businesses and confirmed that, for the second year running, the most popular growth strategy in challenging markets was to move away from oil & gas and into other areas in order to ‘survive’.

With governments on a global scale pursuing net-zero policies, but little being done to help the energy sector to diversify into green energy markets, the report also once again showed three-quarters of companies that diversified preferred to move out of energy completely.

Read the inspiring case studies of all 61 participating EIC member companies and learn about the growth strategies used to survive and thrive in the challenging market conditions of 2020. Key findings and outcomes for industry and government can be found in the report, with a focus on how to increase exports, while also capitalising on the opportunities within the energy transition.

We also deep dive on key topics and issues from the past 12 months in detail, including if COVID-19 was a catalyst for permanent change in the energy sector; that resilience is the name of the game for supply chain companies, what does energy transition mean; and the truth behind diversification when it comes to organisations' core business.

Operational offshore wind capacity surpassed 30GW in 2020, with over 5GW added throughout the year in what represents yet another industry record.

While the UK continues to retain its status as global leader in offshore wind, China is closing the gap, having surpassed the 7GW mark for operational capacity in 2020.

The Chinese project pipeline of over 56GW currently being tracked in the EICDataStream project database can almost be described as a league of its own and is expected to provide the country with a leadership position in the first half of this decade.

Over the last two years the energy industry has had to adapt the way we work to stay safe whilst still trying to progress the UK energy industry.

While significant additions have been made, the report highlights the amount of new generating capacity added to the grid in 2021 has reduced from 2020 levels.

606MW has been added across 16 projects in 2021 in the biomass, energy-from-waste, offshore wind, onshore wind and solar sectors, with 7.8GW expected to come online in 2022.

Despite this, the UK to meet targets for clean energy, the 2021 additions are indeed disappointing, however the outlook for new capacity additions is positive for the coming years and the opportunities are highlighted in the report.
