Bridging the gap to Net Zero

With FES 2020 published recently, we are now starting to work on next year’s Bridging the Gap publication.

We’re excited to share a blog by Strategy Manager Becky Hart, discussing our topics for this year: Peaks and troughs: how markets, technology and digitalisation can help meet the new challenges of a decarbonised energy system.

It’s only by working together that we can make the progress we need to deliver a truly decarbonised future for the UK. We need people from different sectors of industry to get involved.

We'll be holding a series of events starting in the autumn to discuss the following questions to address how peaks and troughs could impact the system and consider the levers, enablers and mechanisms that can help us manage the system effectively. These are:

1. What technological changes will be needed?

2. How will markets need to adapt in order to enable demand being dispatched to meet supply?

3. How can data and digitalisation play a part in managing the dynamic changes in the system, caused by new assets, technologies and behaviours?

If you are interested in joining us, please get in touch.

We held the first of our Bridging the Gap workshops this year at the end of October, bringing together a wide range of our stakeholders.

The aim was to discuss the new ‘peaks’ and critical points in our energy system, and then how markets, tech and data and digitalisation could help to manage these.

In FES 2020 one of our Key Messages is that reaching net zero is achievable but requires immediate action across all key technologies and policy areas. Decarbonising heat is one of the biggest challenges in reaching net zero.
