Innovation Zero 2024 Main Stage

Webinar:  Powering Up: Designing a Coherent Digital Grid for Net Zero 
Infrastructure, interoperability and innovation on the path to 2035 

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 key stakeholders from government, regulation, industry and innovation as we examine how key stakeholders can 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? 

This session is essential for policy leads, technology innovators, regulators, DNOs, and anyone working at the interface of digital and energy systems transformation.
