Review of Energy Policy 2024 Launch

12 December 2024. 12:30

Join us as we launch our flagship publication, the UKERC Review of Energy Policy 2024.

This year the UKERC Review sets out the key energy priorities for the new Labour Government and will explore how action can be galvanised across a number of key areas, including electrification, renewable heat, industrial strategy, equity and nature.

We are pleased to announce that Ed Sheriff, Deputy Director of Energy, Welsh Government will be our keynote speaker. Then following the launch of the Review there will be a panel discussion focused on Wales’ energy priorities.

This in-person event will be held at the St David’s Hotel, Cardiff Bay. The event will gather energy researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders for thought-provoking discussions, engaging presentations, and networking opportunities.

Following the launch of the Review, there will be a special panel on the future of Wales’ energy transition.
