Electrifying our economy, from data centres to transport to industry, is crucial for our country’s future; to ensure energy security, bring down bills and drive economic growth.
A new half-day conference, hosted by Energy UK in partnership with SSE Energy Solutions, will bring together business leaders, politicians, policymakers and experts to discuss the opportunities and most pressing issues as businesses and organisations across the breadth of the economy electrify and grow.

Speaking ahead of the conference, Dhara Vyas, Chief Executive of Energy UK, said:
“The UK’s economic and industrial success is dependent on lower, stable energy costs. Investing in a steady and affordable transition to clean power is crucial – and to deliver the very best results for business across the country, we must also prioritise electrification across the economy.
“This new conference, hosted in collaboration with SSE, shines a spotlight on the single biggest challenge: how do we electrify homes, businesses, and industry in a way that brings down bills, strengthens our national security, and lowers emissions?
“We’re looking forward to hearing from experts across the sector and beyond, covering business, industry, politics, climate change, heat, and transport, all focused on unlocking growth opportunities and building on the success of the clean power transition.”
Nikki Flanders, Managing Director of Energy Customer Solutions at SSE, said:
“The transition to an electrified economy is key to unlocking Britain’s potential, enabling industrial growth for millions of UK businesses from the local high street to industries of the future such as data centres.
“We are at a pivotal moment for businesses as they navigate the opportunities and challenges of the energy transition. I look forward to discussing with industry and policymakers how we can accelerate progress for Britain to win the race to sustainably electrify growth.”
