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.
Hear from Laura Sandys CBE (Green Alliance), Caroline Bragg (ADE), Marzia Zafar (Ofgem), and Alex Schoch (Octopus Energy) as they explore how to accelerate the development of a coherent digital grid that delivers value, usability and resilience.
