GRID 2026 Reflections

The inaugural GRID UK took place on 1–2 October 2026 at ExCeL London, marking an exceptionally successful launch for the UK's energy infrastructure sector.

The event welcomed 1,606 attendees across two days, with 100% positive feedback and 79% rating their experience Excellent or Very Good.

Impressively, 56% of attendees held Director, Executive or C-Suite positions, reflecting the seniority and influence of those in attendance.

A huge thank you to all our delegates, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors and partners for their incredible support and enthusiasm in making the first GRID UK such a success.

We look forward to building on this momentum as we develop plans for GRID UK 2027, taking place on 19–20 October at ExCeL London.

OPPORTUNITY

Unlocking opportunity, building communities

This is a pivotal moment for infrastructure specialists, technology providers, and innovators to play a critical role in shaping a cleaner, more resilient energy future.

As the UK accelerates its path to net zero, collaboration across the energy ecosystem has never been more vital.

GRID will build a new community, providing a platform for Transmission System Operators, Distribution Network Operators and the public sector to engage with private sector partners and be a fulcrum for the big thinking and innovation required to meet this challenge.

“Network connections and the wider buildout of the energy system are critical to the delivery of investment and growth across the UK. This event will give the sector the opportunity to discuss, challenge, and collaborate to ensure the UK’s energy system is fit for purpose into the future. ”
