The UK continues to face a range of urgent and critical energy challenges, with £200bn investment needed in the next two decades to build an infrastructure that will securely deliver low carbon energy, at affordable prices.

At this critical juncture, The UK Energy Summit is convening key policy makers, industry leaders, investors, regulators, innovators and influential thinkers to discuss how the UK’s vision for the energy sector is unfolding and what further actions are required to achieve a secure, low carbon economy.

Confirmed speakers include:
Rt Hon Chris Huhne MP, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change
Dr. Fatih Birol, Chief Economist, International Energy Agency
Dr Tony Cocker, Chief Executive Officer, E.ON UK
Vincent de Rivaz, Chief Executive Officer, EDF Energy
David Kennedy, Chief Executive, Committee on Climate Change
Graham van’t Hoff, Chairman, Shell UK
Tim Yeo MP, Chair, Energy and Climate Change Select Committee
Nick Winser, Executive Director, National Grid
Stephen Fitzpatrick, Founder and Managing Director, Ovo Energy
Bob Sorrell, Vice-president Public Partnerships, BP

Topics to be discussed include:
- Are current policy recommendations far-reaching enough to make a real difference?
- Is the UK on track to meet its carbon budgets and build a low carbon economy – and if not, what needs to be done?
- How are global trends impacting on the UK’s energy security, and what long-term strategies are required to keep the lights on and transport on the move in the UK?
- How can energy companies persuade consumers to think differently and change their behaviours to conserve energy? And how can this be achieved when confidence and trust in suppliers is at an all time low?
- How could innovation in the energy sector help bring about transformational change?
