The energy system is changing rapidly, but the changes need to go further and faster

As the UK focuses on a drive to net zero, transmission and distribution network operators play a critical role in maintaining operational resilience and reliability of supply, whilst learning how to manage in what will be an increasingly complex and dynamic environment.

Digitalisation is seen as the key to ensuring network stability in a fast changing energy landscape where an exponential growth in renewable energy generation, IIOT devices and sensors, electric vehicle charging, heat pumps and larger small scale battery storage are all predicted to be connected to the network in the next decade.

All of these factors demand new approaches in stabilising and optimising the network’s management and operations:
