Opening Keynote: How to build a resilient energy system
The UK is on a quest to decarbonise, but as those efforts accelerate, we need to make sure we’re not leaving anyone behind and that we’re building a system that can serve everyone’s needs.
During this keynote, we’ll explore how we can modernise our infrastructure, reform planning laws and embrace technological breakthroughs to deliver a more flexible, secure and sustainable energy system.

Panel: Does the UK Government’s planning reform go far enough?
The Government unveiled the Planning and Infrastructure Bill in March, with the hopes of fast-tracking the clean energy infrastructure that the UK needs. But does it go far enough, or is there more that we can do to overhaul planning regulations?

Ensuring an equitable rollout of EV charging infrastructure
London is full of EV chargers, as is the South East of England, but when you head into rural areas of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, you may find it harder to access EV charging infrastructure.
How can we ensure equitable access to EV charging, so that those in rural locations aren’t left behind in the EV revolution?

Panel: How do we limit the ballooning curtailment bill?
Renewables are capable of producing more energy than ever before, but that also means an increasing curtailment bill. That raises the question of how we reduce that bill and actually harness the energy that we’re currently losing.
Should we invest heavily in energy storage to capture surplus generation, or introduce regional pricing signals to encourage consumption where and when power is abundant?
