OEUK Investor Breakfast Briefing: Financing the Energy Transition

According to the UK government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, the country requires over £100 billion in energy investment between 2025 and 2030 to meet its clean power goals. The energy transition is no longer a distant ambition, it is a present-day investment challenge. The real question isn’t what needs to happen, but how we fund it.

Join senior investors, policymakers, and energy leaders for the first OEUK Breakfast of the year, to explore the evolving dynamics of risk, capital, and collaboration in the UK’s energy transition. Together, we’ll explore:

  • Are we ready to take more risk as a nation and who should lead that charge?
  • How do public and private investors balance returns with long-term impact?
  • What role do banks and financial institutions play in unlocking scalable capital?
