Our HI Group team attended the BIEE’s (British Institute of Energy Economics) biennial policy conference in September to hear expert debates and discussions on the topic of ‘Delivering the Energy Transition: Pace Over Perfection’
It was an excellent programme, full of valuable insights from industry experts on how to scale up delivery and bring down uncertainty in the GB energy transition.
Chris Stark, Head of ‘Mission Control’ for Clean Power 2030, UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, set the stage for a dynamic day with a pacey opening keynote talk about the net zero challenge ahead, policy considerations and the UK’s role in COP26.
With keynotes by Rebecca Sedler, Managing Director, Interconnectors, National Grid, Louise Hellem, Chief Economist, CBI (Confederation of British Industry) and James Richardson, Director of Analysis, Climate Change Committee, we delved into critical topics -from the broader landscape of green energy progress to the essential role of cohesive strategies in driving investment and accelerating decarbonisation.
The challenges are great, but so is the opportunity to spark innovation and fast-track results.
