The energy sector faces unprecedented complexity as it works toward achieving net zero emissions, driven by an increasing number of energy assets, interactions, and roles. To navigate this complexity and maintain stable network operations, digitalisation is no longer optional—it is imperative. Digital tools offer the potential to drive efficiency, foster innovation, and empower consumers. However, significant challenges remain, threatening progress and consumer trust.

In this session we will explore current regulatory activities by Ofgem (in partnership with the government), and key regulations driving digitalisation in the energy sector.
