Regen is working with the Greater London Authority (GLA) to explore how Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES) can help overcome grid constraints, make better use of existing energy infrastructure and support London's transition to a cleaner, more flexible energy system.
By bringing together local energy generation, storage, flexible demand and innovative technologies and business models, SLES have the potential to support a more coordinated and efficient approach to meeting London's energy needs.
This project will explore how these approaches could be developed and scaled across London, identifying opportunities, barriers and potential pathways towards delivery.
Join the GLA and Regen for a 30-minute introduction to the project - 12th November 2026 (12.30-13.00)
Our introductory webinar will cover:

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.

The Electricity Storage Network is the industry group for electricity storage in Great Britain. Managed by Regen, it brings together more than 100 organisations and 500 industry professionals who are working to develop, operate and supply storage in the GB market.
Poppy leads our work on local energy, supporting local authorities and communities to plan for and deliver net zero. Since joining Regen in 2017 she has delivered and directed significant areas of work including DFES, network charging, heat delivery and innovation projects.
Poppy particularly enjoys tackling strategic challenges and finding innovative solutions and is currently Regen’s programme director for our contribution to Innovate’s Net Zero Living Programme.
Prior to Regen she worked at EDF Energy for 7 years on sustainability strategy and policy as well as for the UK Government in the Sustainable Development Commission.
Poppy lives and works in Dorset by the Jurassic coast and tries, often reluctantly, to swim in the sea once a week.
A huge congratulations goes to all those shortlisted for the 2024 Green Energy Awards.
