Reimagining the energy system for Clean Power 2030 and beyond

19 May 2026
Utility Week Keynote Stage

The energy sector is experiencing a pivotal moment. Achieving clean power, heat, industry and transport will require more than incremental change—it demands a complete reimagining of how our energy system operates. As collaboration across stakeholders intensifies, there is an urgent need for smarter integration, greater coordination and bold innovation. This session explores the systemic shifts needed to unlock a resilient, efficient, and decarbonised energy future and the requirement to stride away from siloed policy.   

  • How are different bodies collaborating to align objectives?   
  • How can the industry better integrate systems and coordinate planning to achieve our collective ambitions to deliver decarbonisation affordably and at pace?  
  • To what extent is energy flexibility being embedded into planning?  
  • What role to different energy vectors have to play in meeting these aims?
  • How can we work more effectively together?What is the call to action for the industry?  
  • How can we prioritise energy security? 
  • How can policy and regulation enable this to happen?
