As the UK accelerates toward net zero, understanding the true costs and characteristics of electricity transmission technologies is essential to planning a resilient and affordable power system.
This webinar, hosted by UKERC in collaboration with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), brings together leading voices from academia and industry to discuss key findings from an Independent Report by Mott MacDonald in conjunction with the IET. Electricity Transmission Technologies: Costs and Characteristics.
Speakers
Andrew Lovett (University of East Anglia)
Keith Bell (University of Strathclyde/UKERC)
Leslie Reekie (SSEN Transmission)
David Reid (Mott MacDonald)
Jess Britton (University of Edinburgh/UKERC)
The speakers will explore the economic, technical, and policy implications of expanding and upgrading the UK’s transmission infrastructure to meet future energy needs.
Join us for an insightful discussion on how cost, technology, and policy intersect in shaping the next generation of the UK’s electricity grid.
