Regen’s first ‘In conversation with series’ of events, featured Chris Stark CBE, one of the leading voices in clean energy and a key figure driving the UK’s transition to renewable electricity generation and storage.
The event explored the plans to deliver the government’s radical blueprint for our power system, the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, a cornerstone of the Prime Minister’s Plan for Change and growth ambitions. Regen chief executive Merlin Hyman led the conversation with Chris and together they will discussed what will be needed to deliver £40 billion a year of investment to accelerate renewable energy generation and to develop the storage and flexibility required to operate a clean power system in just five years.
The discussion examined plans to deliver radical changes to grid connections, ambitious measures to speed clean energy projects through the planning system, reforms to Contracts for Difference and far-reaching proposals to reform energy markets – the implications for the energy sector and shared insights on how industry leaders and stakeholders can contribute to achieving these vital goals.
This was an opportunity to engage directly with the head of Mission Control to discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead as we move into a key delivery stage of the government’s mission to accelerate the transition to clean power.
Members get discounted rates on all our events and free attendance at our working groups, along with a range of other benefits.
The Electricity Storage Network Annual Conference is a platform for key industry players and policymakers to gather and debate what’s needed to attract and maintain the billions of pounds of investment required for this crucial asset class – from supportive policy and regulatory frameworks to shifting revenue strategies and evolving business models.
With over 5 GW of grid-scale battery storage operational and a 3 GW pipeline of new pumped hydro storage projects, plus other technologies in development, grid-scale electricity storage is established as key to a zero-carbon energy system – a testament to the success of our 100+ members.
And with an ambitious Clean Power 2030 action plan for accelerated clean power, against the backdrop of significant grid connection and market reform, and a long duration energy storage cap and floor scheme, the role of storage and flexibility is more important than ever.
At the ESN Annual Conference you’ll hear directly from our members and key decision makers from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ofgem and the National Energy System Operator on the latest changes across a range of topics critical to the storage sector, including Clean Power 2030, the revenue environment, long duration energy storage, grid connection reform and fire safety.
This is also an opportunity to learn about the ESN’s work to ensure policy, markets and regulation are geared to enable the storage sector to flourish and grow at the pace and scale required while networking with 300+ industry leaders in central London.
