WHY EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU

KNEW ABOUT ENERGY IS WRONG

A ‘power shift’ is taking place within the industry due to the convergence of energy and ICT, coupled with an increased drive for sustainability. For decades, utilities have generated electricity in large, central power plants and distributed it to seemingly ‘passive’ consumers in their home. The increasing level of renewables in the energy mix is now leading to a more complex and diverse system which must incorporate smaller, distributed methods of generation. This new energy system is harnessing ICT to create a digital infrastructure which enables two-way communication, increases flexibility and encourages an ‘active’ energy citizen who can play a part in matching supply with demand. The ensuing disruption opens up major challenges and opportunities for citizens, policymakers, utilities and other stakeholders.

This Summit, hosted by the IIEA and ESB, will bring together national and international thought leaders, expert policymakers and leading industry figures to discuss the transformative changes currently taking place in the energy sector. The Summit will challenge long-standing assumptions on energy and start a conversation on how connectivity will shape the future of energy.

Themes which will be addressed include:• The role of the citizen as an active participant in distributed energy• The connected home and the connected car• The latest trends in energy investment• New business models for the future of the utility• The challenge of implementing European Energy Union
