As the UK transitions to a smarter, more flexible and consumer-led energy system, digital infrastructure is a vital enabler.
Rapid innovation is underway- from next-generation smart meters and fibre broadband integration to interoperable platforms and digitally connected assets. These developments hold the key to unlocking demand-side flexibility, enhancing grid visibility and empowering consumers.
Despite momentum however, current efforts remain fragmented. A lack of shared standards, coordinated oversight and infrastructure gaps are hampering progress.
Join Laura Sandys CBE, Chair of the Green Alliance and a leading voice on energy system transformation, alongside key stakeholders from government, regulation, industry and innovation, as we explore how to accelerate the development of a coherent digital grid that delivers value, usability and resilience.
Speakers will explore:
- What would a truly integrated digital energy infrastructure look like for the UK?
- How can smart meter connectivity be future-proofed at scale?
- What governance frameworks are needed to unlock open yet secure energy data sharing?
- What can the UK learn and apply from international models of digital energy design?
