Leading the energy transformation – can we really create a clean power system by 2030?
20 May 2025
Utility Week Keynote Stage
With Labour’s commitment to delivering a clean power system by 2030 driving the integration of renewable sources and need for energy security, the UK's energy landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. Energy networks need a clear strategy and certainty to make investment decisions and maintain a resilient energy system. This panel unites policymakers those delivering the Clean Power 2030 mission to discuss strategies for navigating these challenges and ensuring a stable, sustainable energy future for all, asking:
- How will different bodies work together to streamline, accelerate and improve efficiency in delivering a clean power system?
- How will planning, regulation and investment adapt?
- What steps are being taken to ensure a smooth transition to net zero while maintaining grid stability during periods of high demand?
- With the rise of decentralised energy systems, how can the UK ensure effective coordination across various energy stakeholders?
- How do keep the customer at the centre of this transformation
