Will planning and land reform actually speed delivery?

The UK’s Clean Power 2030 programme is now translating into procurement, grid reform and delivery pressure across the supply chain. In January 2026, Allocation Round 7 secured a record 8.4GW of offshore wind – signaling both momentum and the need to execute quickly on ports, vessels, manufacturing, and grid integration.

Meanwhile, connections reform is reshaping what counts as a ‘real’ pipeline and how quickly projects can be brought forward. This Briefing is about practical delivery in 2026: consenting and communities, grid buildout, curtailment and constraint costs, and market design changes under REMA.
