Onshore Wind Conference 2026
#ONSHOREWIND26
Onshore Wind Conference 2026, co-hosted with Scottish Renewables in Edinburgh on 1 – 2 September brings together all the major players shaping this next phase of onshore wind's development, from policymakers and developers to investors and the supply chain, offering an unmissable opportunity to connect, collaborate, and influence the industry’s future direction.
With the de-facto ban in England lifted and the UK’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan driving rapid growth, the onshore wind sector is a key driving force in the UK achieving our net zero targets. Following last year's sold out event, this iteration promises to be even bigger. This is a critical moment for the UK sector and defines how it will deliver on our onshore wind ambitions. Being a part of Onshore Wind 2026 ensures your organisation leads in this era of renewed opportunity.
