Policy & Regulation
Views from
the podium:
Liv Garfield, chief executive,
Severn Trent
"PR19 is an opportu-
nity for the water sec-
tor to be bold, to work
with our customers
to shape the future of
the industry, and to
use the structures and
incentives we're pre-
sented with to think
differently."
Heidi Mottram, chief executive,
Northumbrian Water Group
"Great ideas exist
everywhere. The best
innovations, which
allow companies to
deliver for customers,
often comes from
sharing experiences
and adapting existing
methods to different
challenges, rather
than new inventions."
Michael Lewis, chief executive,
Eon UK
"Energy is the life-
blood of our lives
but it's clear we need
some new thinking
when it comes to
building a future that
is smarter, lower car-
bon, more innovative
for customers."
Frank Mitchell, chief executive,
SP Energy Networks
"With many
predicting that
electric vehicles will
be cheaper than
traditional cars by
2022, the impact from
the huge expansion
of solar due to lower
prices must be
upmost in the minds
of policymakers
and our industry to
ensure the benefits
of clean energy are
maximised."

"The way water
companies engage
with customers
has evolved. Going

step change. We need

ers to be active partici-
pants in our plans to
become more resilient
in the face of climate
change."
