“Against a backdrop of geopolitical instability, high prices and shifting global priorities, the importance of having a UK energy market where businesses can invest, compete and deliver has never been clearer – and we’re very pleased that will be reflected by the calibre of speakers and all participants on the day.
“Each year our annual conference brings together decision-makers, innovators, and stakeholders from across the energy sector. This year’s discussions come at a pivotal moment for the industry, and we look forward to hearing a diversity of political and industry voices discuss solutions and build the consensus needed to deliver a secure, affordable and sustainable energy future.”
