Webinar: Trust, Flexibility, and Mobility: Social Impacts of Grid Electrification

06 November 2025. 13:00

This is the latest webinar in our series with the Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC), focusing on profiling the work of early career researchers.

As the UK moves toward a highly electrified and flexible energy system, understanding the social and environmental dimensions of this transition is critical.

This joint UKERC–EDRC webinar brings together two perspectives: one focusing on how to build public trust and enable domestic participation in flexibility services, and the other examining the impact of electrification on urban air quality and human exposure to pollution.  

Together, the session will explore how trust, transparency, and co-benefits like cleaner air can support a just and inclusive energy transition.

Speakers and their research include:

Dr. Helen Poulter, University of Sussex and EDRC
Trust and Flexibility: Enabling Domestic Participation in the Future Grid

Caitlin Hope, University of Strathclude and UKERC
Mobility Pathways to Net-Zero: How Electrification, Fleet Composition, and Modal Shift Could Shape Energy Demand, Air Quality, Equity, and Human Health
