Horizons Live: Renewing renewables

The next phase of wind and solar growth will not just come from building new projects. As the first generation of renewable assets reaches the end of its design life, repowering and decommissioning will become increasingly important.

Date 29 October 2026
Time 2:30-3:30pm GMT / 9:30–10:30am EST

In this month’s Horizons Live webinar, our experts will explore what the next wave of repowering could mean for renewable buildout, power markets and asset economics.

More than 2.5 terawatts of wind and solar capacity could face a decision over its future in the 2040s. Repowering could account for 44% of wind and 23% of solar buildout during the decade, making the replacement of ageing assets an increasingly important source of future capacity.

Join our experts to explore what this means for governments, suppliers, investors and asset owners.

 

In this webinar, you can expect to learn about:

  • The scale of the opportunity: why more than 2.5 terawatts of wind and solar could need to be repowered, extended or decommissioned in the 2040s
  • The changing buildout picture: how decommissioning could account for 44% of wind and 23% of solar installations during the decade
  • Power market impacts: how more efficient repowered assets could increase renewable output and put downward pressure on power prices
  • Asset economics: why project lifetimes, capture prices and post-contract revenues will become increasingly important for asset owners
