Electrifying Industry: The Next Frontier in Clean Power

Industrial decarbonisation is core to the UK’s clean growth ambitions, but progress hinges on electrifying traditionally hard-to-abate sectors. This panel will explore technology pathways, grid readiness, and cross-sector coordination to scale electrification where it’s needed most.

• How can we accelerate power switching in high-heat, high-load sectors?

• What grid upgrades and flexibility mechanisms are needed to enable industrial electrification?

• What can we learn from early industrial clusters and global case studies?
