Building Your Energy System: Onsite Generation, Storage and the Future Grid

23 Nov 2026
Optimising Energy

As organisations electrify, onsite infrastructure can improve resilience, lower operating costs and give businesses greater control over their energy supply.

This session explores to design integrated energy systems that balance commercial value, operational resilience and the needs of a rapidly evolving electricity network.

  • How do you evaluate which on-site investments make commercial sense?

  • How can self-generation balance with grid electricity to improve resilience and support a more flexible, efficient electricity system?

  • How should major energy users work with DNOs, NESO and National Grid to ensure coherent planning?
