Westminster Insight’s Smarter Power Grid Digital Live Broadcast brings together leading experts to discuss the next steps for developing smart electricity networks in the UK, and priorities for delivering
grid flexibility, decarbonisation, reduced consumer costs and increased energy efficiency through control over energy use.
Our electricity system is undergoing fundamental change, with the system becoming increasingly distributed and environmentally friendly through the integration of
greener energy generation, improvements to energy storage and demand side-response.
BEIS’s Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan estimated that the
full potential of grid flexibility could deliver savings of
£40 billion a year by 2050. However concern has been recently highlighted of the risk of the UK failing to fully reach this potential without a renewed effort and focus.
Join leading experts from the
government, energy, environment and technology sectors to share solutions and hear best practice case studies of delivering a smart and flexible electricity network.
