Build in Britain or buy from abroad? How can we secure a homegrown energy future?
Published: 23 September, 2026
The UK is entering a decisive period for the future of its energy sector. Just days after the Autumn Budget, and against the backdrop of major decisions on taxation, project approvals, market reform and offshore energy investment, this flagship OEUK Breakfast Briefing will bring together some of the most influential leaders from across industry, investment, policy and the supply chain to discuss what comes next.
Featuring an exceptional speaker line-up, this is a unique opportunity to hear directly from those shaping the future of the sector at a time when announcements are starting to crystallise into investment decisions. This event will debate one of the defining questions facing the sector: Will Britain build its energy future, or buy it from abroad?
Hear directly from industry leaders as they discuss:
• How the UK can improve competitiveness and attract investment.
• What will determine where capital flows and where supply chains grow.
• Whether current policy and market frameworks are sufficient to secure UK jobs, value and industrial capability.
• What practical action is needed from government, investors, developers, operators and the supply chain.
Featured speakers include:
• Neil McCulloch, Chief Executive Officer, Adura
• Angela Fletcher, Chief Commercial Officer, North Sea Midstream Partners
• Stuart Payne CBE, Chief Executive, North Sea Transition Authority
• Ashley Coaker, Vice President, Energy & Chemicals, Worley
• Angela Hepworth, CEO, Scottish Renewables
• Julian Walker, Chief Commercial Officer, Associated British Ports
• Steve Gray, Managing Partner, Ventex
• Katy Heidenreich, Supply Chain & People Director, Offshore Energies UK
• David Whitehouse, CEO, Offshore Energies UK
• + More to be announced!
This is not another discussion about the opportunity - it is a discussion about who captures it.
