Summary - 7th Annual Conference on Offshore Wind Transmission Europe

Europe’s offshore wind industry is entering a decisive phase, aiming to achieve 86-89 GW of offshore capacity by 2030. With these ambitious targets and the growing recognition of the need to establish reliable, large-scale infrastructure, the focus is shifting from planning to swift execution. Transmission, interconnection, and grid integration are now at the centre of the conversation, driving the need for coordination, innovation, and investment.

With the European Commission (EC) set to unveil its Grid Action Plan, and with countries around the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Atlantic Sea regions racing to deploy new initiatives, it becomes crucial to align efforts across governments, regulators, developers, transmission system operators (TSOs), suppliers, and technology providers. Success in offshore wind extends beyond merely installing turbines; it demands robust policy support, a reliable transmission network, and a resilient supply chain.

In this context, Global Transmission Report is organising the 7th Annual Offshore Wind Transmission Europe Conference on February 19, 2026, at Novotel Amsterdam City. This one-day, content-driven event will bring together the key players driving the future of offshore wind and grid infrastructure.

This year's conference will focus on what is required to scale efficiently and reliably. Discussions will cover topics such as integrating multi-GW wind farms, strengthening offshore networks, overcoming permitting challenges, and constructing nature-inclusive infrastructure. The event will also explore the increasing importance of interconnectors, hybrid projects, and regional collaboration in creating a more resilient and interconnected energy system.

Delegates will gain valuable insights from leading TSOs, offshore wind developers, policymakers, financiers, and technology providers on project development, grid planning, and regulatory alignment. The conference will also explore how Europe can strengthen its offshore wind supply chain, expand manufacturing capacity, and prepare for long-term growth beyond 2030.

Join us to engage with the experts advancing Europe’s offshore wind and transmission with speed, reliability, and impact.
