Business Opportunities

World-scale investment and business opportunities are resulting from the UK’s commitment to the constraint of carbon emissions and the major use of renewable energy.

UK renewables companies have developed with a highly challenging and competitive domestic market, building on strong technology clusters and commercial skills. They have also been able to contribute to commercial developments in other markets as the industry becomes global. And now the fast-growing UK market is providing attractive opportunities for established renewables companies in the UK and overseas, and for companies with relevant skills in other industries seeking expansion opportunities.

Government and industry analyses of stuctural hurdles has resulted in a range of regulatory and financial moves to clear the way for large-scale deployment of renewables, and particularly wind energy, see the UK Renewable Energy Strategy Consultation.

Industry internationally has recognised that there are major investment and deployment opportunities in the UK at all stages of the supply chain, construction and project operation. Regional Development Authorities and Devolved Administrations throughout the UK are keen to attract this investment and operating activity. UK Renewables, with UK Trade & Investment, is working centrally with both UK and overseas companies that are interested in engaging with this market, to help them to achieve the best outcome from market entry.
