Local pathways to net zero
The net-zero journey will inevitably progress at different rates across
the country. But how do we ensure that this does not slip into a
postcode lottery? And what is the role of utilities in supporting local
authorities with their decarbonisation plans?
The energy/water nexus
How we can engender greater collaboration between water and
energy companies over reducing energy demand from water compa-
nies and water usage in energy generation.
Utility Week Forum, 8-9
November, 133 Houndsditch,
London
In 2022, the world looks very
different from just two years
before. As customers face an
unprecedented cost of living
crisis, utilities are clear that
they must deliver on their
public service commitments – but to do so, they must
balance the competing objectives of affordability,
sustainability and resilience.
One thing is clear – it's time for a new approach.
These issues must be tackled head-on; the difficult
decisions must be made; and industry must stand up
and lead the change.
As the established voice of the UK's energy and
water businesses, Utility Week is delighted to bring
you a new flagship event, the Utility Week Forum, 8-9
November 2022, that will get to the heart of today's
challenges.
We work with the industry day in, day out,
throughout the year and since the time of privatisa-
tion. You've told us that you want fresh thinking,
lively debate and new and diverse voices – as well as
the opportunity to share your own insights, and co-
create tangible solutions to take back to the frontline.
We're delighted to bring you a programme that
offers all this and more.
The Utility Week Forum is about squaring the cir-
cle of affordability, sustainability and resilience. It's
continued overleaf
