The report will focus on what is needed to deliver Clean Power 2030 and the future growth of floating offshore wind.
OEUK represents more than 400 organisations and businesses across the UK, including those involved in offshore oil, gas, carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen, and wind.
The report launch will be followed by three roadshows across the UK.
The first will be held at Hull's Village Hotel on May 20, followed by the Norfolk Showground Events Centre in Norwich on May 22, and finally the Cavendish Conference Venue in London on June 4.
The breakfast briefing and roadshows for OEUK's Wind Insight report will offer a platform for people to hear more about the government's target of creating a clean power grid by 2030, plus analysis of potential opportunities and the policy framework underpinning this objective.
Speakers and panellists for the launch of the Wind Insight report at All-Energy include Colin Maciver, senior director at Cerulean Winds, Sarah Knight, senior development manager (decarbonisation) at Crown Estate Scotland, and Susan McDonald, energy transition lead at Deloitte.

Thibaut Cheret, wind and renewables manager at OEUK and lead author of the report, said: "The government's Clean Power 2030 (CP30) target will need between 43 and 51 GW of installed capacity in offshore wind by 2030.
"A recent round of offshore wind leases released by Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) will help decarbonise offshore oil and gas production whilst accelerating deployment of the first projects globally at commercial scale but the pace needs to quicken.
"Our report will outline what steps need to be taken to achieve this."
Tickets for the breakfast briefing in Glasgow are available from the OEUK website.
