From nuclear power plants to regional water supplies, operators of critical national infrastructure are faced with ever increasing cyber threats, compliance requirements and budget hungry activities.

Smart meter data will need to be connected in near-real-time to enable sophisticated energy communities and new energy services, and to reflect medium to long-term demand for net-zero emissions. Are today’s meters and wider infrastructure fit to support these needs? 

Flexibility is vital to deliver a low cost and low carbon energy system. Variable wind and solar generation needs a flexible demand-side to balance the system. Deploying flexibility avoids spending billions of pounds overbuilding generation and reinforcing networks. This is a huge opportunity for consumers to lower their bills. It is also a huge opportunity for technology, finance and energy companies to provide the solutions which unlock flexibility.
