Grid connection queues have tripled in seven months. Offshore wind targets have been quietly revised downward. The clean energy workforce is 200,000 people short. Industrial electricity prices remain four times those of the US. And the political consensus that made net zero possible is fracturing in real time.

Energy Landscape UK 2026 (ELUK2026) is where Britain stops making excuses and starts making commitments.

Taking place on 3–4 November 2026 at The Kia Oval, London, and themed The Energy Trilemma: Britain's Three-Front War It Cannot Afford to Lose, ELUK2026 is a two-day reckoning for the UK's net zero delivery - bringing together government, regulators, investors, utilities, infrastructure developers, heavy industry, and digital and data innovators in one room, with one mission: convert ambition into action.

This is not a celebration of incremental progress. It is not another roadmap. It is the platform where the people who hold the levers of delivery face the questions the sector has spent years avoiding - and leave with named, time-bound commitments submitted directly to government through the ELUK 2026 Energy Leadership Declaration.

Across ten panels and two closing debates, delegates will confront the key pillars defining how the UK delivers Net Zero:

• Net Zero Leadership & Political Accountability  Is the UK's net zero strategy credible, affordable and politically durable - or is the consensus that built it now permanently broken?
• Financing the Transition & Capital Deployment  Where is clean energy capital flowing, what is blocking it, and what do investors need to deploy it faster?
• Planning Reform, Grid Acceleration & Infrastructure Build-Out  Can the 739GW connection queue catastrophe be cleared in time - and can distributed microgrids fill the gap where the national grid has failed?
• Nuclear & Advanced Energy Technologies  Is Britain's £2.5 billion fusion gamble visionary industrial leadership or an expensive moonshot that arrives too late?
• Oil & Gas Transition & Carbon Capture  Can CCUS genuinely save Britain's industrial heartlands - or will policy chaos and funding gaps accelerate the deindustrialisation it was designed to prevent?
• Hydrogen Innovation & Strategic Deployment  With HyNet and the East Coast Cluster in a winner-takes-all race, is the UK's hydrogen strategy fracturing under its own contradictions?
• Renewables Expansion, Storage & System Flexibility With Hornsea 4 cancelled and the next CfD auction outside the 2030 window, does Britain have a credible plan B for clean power delivery?
• Digital Power Demand: AI & Data Centres  With 50GW of data centre applications already clogging the grid queue, is AI Britain's industrial opportunity - or a demand shock the system cannot absorb?
• Integrated Energy Systems & Cross-Sector Coordination  How do grid, capital, supply chains and skills align in time - and who is accountable when they don't?
• Workforce, Industrial Strategy & the Net Zero Delivery Roadmap  Who is actually going to build the energy transition - and can Britain close a 200,000-worker gap before the delivery window closes?
