Panel One: What do we need to unlock full EV potential

Host - Jennifer Smith, E-mobility Segment Marketing, Schneider Electric

The rapid roll out of Electric Vehicles is causing challenges for today’s eMobility ecosystem to overcome. Vehicle manufacturers, charging point operators, utilities, fleet owners and building managers are facing a different set of barriers that are limiting a full scale roll out of their respective EV strategy. In this panel we will discuss the challenges faced within the Industry and understand perspectives and solutions to drive collaboration and jointly unlock the potential of EV for a sustainable future. ​

SME Talk One: Carbon calculator

Electric utilities are facing a multitude of challenges: growing regulatory and customer pressure for increased reliability and reduced carbon emissions, adoption of distributed renewable generation and energy storage, increase in severe weather patterns and network outages, and the inevitability of both an ageing workforce and infrastructure.​

Speakers

Panel Two: How can Green Hydrogen accelerate a Net Zero electricity system?​

Host - Ben Gray, Segment Marketing Manager - Power & Grid, Schneider Electric

As we increase our share of renewables on the network, we need to look for a way of storing energy over seasonal periods of time.  Whether its reducing renewable curtailment, adding flexibility to the generation and demand side of the grid, or decarbonising hard to electrify industries, Green Hydrogen will have a role to play.  Could it be the silver bullet on our journey to Net Zero?

Speakers

Katharine Blacklaws, Senior Analyst, LCP Delta

Alan Leadbetter, Technical Development, Director, Storengy UK

Sagar Depala, Energy Demand Manager, National Grid

SME Talk Two: Decarbonize thanks to Digital

Join Paul Armstrong, Sales Director, as we explore how Electricity 4.0 is the turning point of moving from a carbon based generation system to a zero carbon based generation and the turning point to having a carbon neutral electrical network.​
