Events

Breakfast Briefings

Held throughout the year, our Breakfast Briefings lead the conversation on areas of interest to our members and stakeholders. These range from policy-specific topics such as infrastructure planning, energy efficiency and the Review of the Electricity Market Arrangements to general discussions around the future of the energy market or the digitalisation of utilities.

These virtual or in-person panel events are free to attend and usually last one hour. Aimed at people working in industry, parliamentarians and wider stakeholders, sessions are opened by leading experts with their views before the discussion is widened into an audience Q&A.

Annual Conference

The energy industry’s flagship event will gather senior leaders and experts from across the industry to discuss and debate the most important issues facing our sector. The Annual Conference 2024 saw panel discussions on how energy matters to people, power and prosperity, and how industry can deliver an affordable and secure net-zero power system.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Energy (EDI) Conference

The industry’s annual EDI Conference is an opportunity to bring together senior leaders, changemakers, professionals and groups dedicated to improving EDI to share good practice, challenge one another and hear from companies and individuals that are leading the way. Initially an Energy UK initiative, the conference has grown over the years and is now an industry-wide collaboration with Ofgem, the Energy Institute and the ENA to drive forward improvements in EDI across the whole sector.

Young Energy Professionals (YEP) Awards

Our Young Energy Professionals Forum is a network for people with up to 10 years’ experience in the energy industry. Each year, the YEP awards provide an opportunity to celebrate up-and-coming talent, recognising the leaders of the future.

With Kayte O’Neill of NESO having delivered a forward-looking keynote speech, and YEP Forum Chair Connor Innes and Vice-Chair Isabella Oratore having walked us through the exciting things we can expect of the YEP Forum in 2026, the 2025 YEP Awards was our biggest and most exciting yet. And hosting the 2025 awards, Magician and Mindreader Fergus Flanagan wowed us with his jaw-dropping magic and illusionary tricks.

We had two brand new awards for 2025; the Communications and Engagement Award, to celebrate those in industry with excellent communication skills who are able to connect and engage, and the Supply Chain Innovator Award, to celebrate those who work on or within the supply chain who drive results through innovation, impact and delivery.

Sponsorship opportunities are now available for 2026. Please get in touch with membership@energy-uk.org.uk for more information.

Lightning Bolt Talks

Energy UK’s Lightning Bolt Talks bring together people from the worlds of energy, policy and beyond, to share exciting and innovative ways of using data to understand, explain and improve energy in the UK. From supporting consumers to achieving Net Zero, the challenges the sector faces require fresh thinking and new ways of unlocking the power of information. To explore those ideas, the event hosts time-limited talks from a range of speakers across different policy areas.
