Background to themes
It is clear from past events in this series that there is an urgent need to upgrade the infrastructure and sourcing of power to the grid, so that the ubiquitous and flexible form of energy, electricity, could be generated cleanly and efficiently. We expand last years event to run a dedicated day on the smart grid before the clean power day. It is also clear that business must take the consumer with it on this path, and understanding customer behaviour and meeting its preferences is crucial. This is not an area of strength for the most powerful stakeholders.
