The Dedicated Marketplace for Grid Infrastructure
From the team behind world-leading solar and energy storage events, part of a global portfolio spanning solar, storage, EV charging, and grid infrastructure.
Grid Live UK, co-located with Solar & Storage Live UK and EVCharge Live UK at the NEC Birmingham, is the dedicated platform driving Britain’s transmission and distribution infrastructure. It brings together high-voltage systems, substations, transformers, cabling, digital controls, grid connections, and network planning services.
The event places these solutions directly in front of key decision-makers: network operators, utilities, EPC contractors, engineers, investment directors, and procurement leads. Co-locating with Solar & Storage Live UK and EV Charge Live UK creates one fully connected platform, linking power transmission and distribution with utility-scale generation, energy storage, and EV infrastructure.
Why Now?
Britain’s power network is entering its most aggressive expansion era in generations. A record multi-billion-pound investment pipeline, regulatory mandates, and accelerated connection targets are converging to create immediate demand across the entire grid supply chain.
£200bn+ Investment Pipeline
Over £200 billion in grid investment is planned across the UK to modernise transmission and distribution infrastructure and support net zero targets.
£90bn Transmission Boost
The RIIO-T3 investment pipeline to 2031 stands at ~£90 billion, driving anticipatory investment across transmission networks.
£59bn Framework Awarded
A £59 billion HVDC cable and converter supply-chain framework has been awarded to 10 major suppliers, accelerating critical subsea and overland power links.
NESO System Expansion
The National Energy System Operator's "Beyond 2030" network estimate has been revised up 53% to ~£89 billion.
National Grid's £35bn Plan
National Grid Electricity Transmission’s own RIIO-T3 plan targets £35 billion in capital investment between 2026 and 2031.
Connections Reform
Over 283GW of generation/storage and 99GW of transmission-connected demand have secured Gate 2 queue positions under accelerated grid connection frameworks.
Capacity Upgrades
Over 3,500km of existing overhead lines are slated for major upgrades, nearly doubling power transfer capacity to accommodate clean power and new demand.
Strategic Hub
Co-locating at the NEC Birmingham gives Grid Live UK direct access to over 20,000 energy professionals, installers, developers, and investors attending Solar & Storage Live UK.
