From discussions with the director of the International Energy Agency, the energy minister of Canada, and CEOs from Octopus Energy, NESO, National Grid, and Scottish Power, there was no shortage of insights offered.

What models are helping de-risk investment?

Energy Addition and Demand-side Flexibility

Is the ‘energy transition’ becoming an expansion rather than a substitution? What does credible decarbonisation look like amid structural demand growth?

Power in the AI Era

What will deliver constant, reliable capacity for AI’s "round-the-clock power" needs? Is natural gas a short-term bridge?

Risk, Resilience and Affordability
