Market Growth Factors

Encouraging policies from the UK government have been a meaningful contributor to the growth. In 2023 a £22 Million increase in the budget was announced for the Contracts for Difference (CfD) renewables subsidy program, along with CfD contracts for billions of pounds of renewable power. Most of this support targets existing technologies like solar and offshore wind, in order to maintain the UK's lead in renewable electricity technologies. Renewable technologies supplied 48% of the UK electricity and generated capacity in the first quarter of 2023. By 2035, the UK has a target toward a decarbonised power system and net zero by 2050. They include rewards. They include incentives. They include stricter norms for the adoption of cleaner technologies.

Investing in and expanding renewables and wind power make the market look positive. In Q1 2024, renewable electricity generated 50.9% of the total electricity within the UK, according to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero this increased 3.7% compared to Q1 2023. Onshore wind turbines generated 7.4% more power because wind speeds rose and remained the largest power source for the second straight quarter. Continuing to build offshore wind, onshore wind and solar, and biomass plays an important role for diversification of the energy mix and for improvement of energy security, in addition to job support.

Investment dollars in renewable energy infrastructure gained. The UK economy leads more in the renewable energy market. Government supports, processes annual auctions and gives financial incentives to discourage relying upon gas imports and fluctuating prices, while it encourages existing and new entrants into the market to invest within renewable energy for energy security and infrastructure. The combination of green energy capacity additions and policies conducive to investment create a favorable market environment.
