Stream 1: Utility-Scale Solar & Storage Integration
Stream 2: Rooftop & C&I Solar
Unlocking the Next Phase of Large-Scale Deployment
Utility-scale solar and battery storage are critical to the UK’s net-zero future — but delivering projects at pace in a constrained grid is no simple task. From planning reform to grid access, market design, and investor confidence, developers and utilities face mounting friction that can stall even the most ambitious projects.
This stream dives into the practical challenges and opportunities for scaling utility solar and storage, offering insights for developers, investors, utilities, and policymakers. Learn what’s truly slowing projects down — and how to unlock the next wave of deployment.
Turning Potential into Performance
Rooftop and commercial & industrial (C&I) solar are often seen as “easy wins,” yet many projects fail to reach their potential. Despite strong economics, corporate net-zero commitments, and political support, pipelines stall due to process challenges, risk allocation, and grid access barriers rather than technology.
This stream brings together developers, asset owners, financiers, and corporates to explore practical solutions for activating stalled projects, standardizing delivery, and unlocking capital at scale. Discover the structures and strategies that make rooftop and C&I solar projects bankable and scalable.
Key Questions Explored:
Why are utility-scale solar and storage projects still stalling, even with planning reform and available capital?
How does storage change the economics and risk profile of large-scale solar in a constrained grid?
What do recent policy and market signals mean for real-world investment decisions?
Join us to gain actionable insights into navigating delivery risk at scale and accelerating deployment across the UK’s solar landscape.
Key Questions Explored:
Why do viable rooftop and C&I projects stall before or after approval?
How is grid access risk reshaping the economics of smaller-scale solar projects?
What structures actually unlock scale and capital in the C&I market?
Take part to learn how to turn untapped potential into real-world solar deployment and accelerate the UK’s transition to clean energy.
