The 20th annual edition of the UK Sustainable Infrastructure Summit will be held on 9 October at the Cavendish Conference Centre in London. This well-established event always attracts a sizeable gathering of leaders from the UK sustainable infrastructure industry, both from the public and private sectors.

This year’s summit comes at a critical time for UK sustainable infrastructure as the government doubles down on its clean power and net zero commitments. Key topics that will be covered in the programme include:

• Delivering on the 10 Year Infrastructure Strategy, the Modern Industrial Strategy and the Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan 
• The role of NISTA and managing the new Infrastructure Pipeline 
• Accelerating energy projects to decarbonise the power system 
• Industry feedback on the vision, priorities and deliverability of the UK’s 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy 
• Planning and Infrastructure Bill 2025 and potential additional measures: What’s changing and why it matters 
• Unlocking private capital: New incentives, risks and returns 
• Wind Energy – Achieving the government’s targets for offshore and onshore wind 
• The critical importance of private sector co-investment alongside the National Wealth Fund 
• Green Hydrogen – realising the potential 
• The nuclear renaissance in the UK 
• Grid capacity and connections: Can the grid cope with the growth in AI data centres in addition to renewables? 
• Carbon capture & storage – has the technology come of age? 
• Navigating uncertainty: policy consistency, market volatility and long-term returns
