2050 will be an important year for the entire world, but even more pressing will be the next ten years on the global energy agenda if we are to hit the net-zero target for decarbonisation. We cover designing the system around consumers, and sizing the system around demand.
How does the policy puzzle fit together to achieve the most seamless and efficient energy transition in Europe and beyond? It’s clear that robust policies and guidelines are needed to increase technology adoption across the sector and maintain a strong bottom line. This session will explore:
A case study around flexibility resources and how they are being integrated in Italy. Owners of small-scale assets will play a key role in transforming the energy sector by optimising their interaction with the grid.
There has been a surge of innovative projects which aim to widen access to the flexibility markets, offer end-to-end solutions for customers and open up revenue streams. This panel will hear from a few which already offer this solution and key milestones including:
In a more and more decentralised world, how can asset owners ensure they are opening up all revenue streams available to them in the current market, from storage to generation assets? Find out what strategies are in place to help open up these markets even more to the balancing mechanism and wholesale market.
The innovative partners behind Project TraDER have taken live a local market for excess power on the Orkney islands, successfully delivering real-time trading between renewable generation and local flexibility and using real-time markets to resolve constraints behind an Active Network Management system.
DSOs and TSOs across Europe may feel overwhelmed by the huge scale of change that the transition requires, so how do they plan to manage this in practical terms?
Despite the urgency of climate action and the popularity of ESG as an investment theme, scaling cleantech start-ups remains challenging. Meanwhile, incumbent energy companies struggle to adapt to a cleaner future at a pace demanded by their constituents. Energy Impact Partners (EIP) was formed to address this challenge. With over $1.5bn under management, we invest in the most innovative start-ups supporting the energy transition and connect them with our coalition of over 20 major utilities from across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. This presentation will highlight the technologies and business models EIP believes are critical for a clean energy future, and why strategic capital will play a crucial role in their success.
Following on from the formation of the Energy Data Taskforce in 2018, what stage is the industry at in developing a suite of recommendations for energy data best practice? This session will delve into the following, and be your chance to get your questions answered by the panel:
Today data is king. As the UK approaches its Net Zero targets, reducing emissions in the utilities sector is key if we’re to achieve the ambitious targets set by the UK government. With a lot of discussion and headlines around net zero and how it can be achieved, does it go far enough? In this session, Bjoern looks at what businesses can do to reach further and become carbon negative by using data driven decision-making tools and machine learning to make net zero a reality.
