UKELA London Meeting
The Changing Face of the Energy Market
Please join us for this early evening session looking at some of the policy drivers and current innovations that are changing the face of the energy market.
As the UK seeks to gain momentum in its drive to decarbonise its energy supply, progress will be required on both the supply and demand side. Whilst the UK Government grapples with how best to drive the replacement of our generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure, local and regional authorities will have an increasingly important role to play, not only leveraging their formal role as the planning authority, but potentially providing leadership to drive new initiatives on local energy supply and demand reduction. Meanwhile, the private sector, reacting to cost increases, security of supply and sustainability considerations, is looking at new ways to manage the risks and address the opportunities.
The session will consider these changes and cross the Atlantic to consider some of the recent drivers steering energy policy in North America.
