Women in Utilities Networking Brunch

Emma Fletcher is the Innovation Director at Octopus Energy Homes. Her career has centred on high-innovation projects in housing, energy performance and green energy production, and she established and led the UK’s first fossil fuel-free district heating scheme in her village, Swaffham Prior.

Chloe Fong is the Head of Ventures – Growth Studio at E.ON UK, where she leads the development of customer-centric energy solutions. Chloe and her team are focused on bridging the gap between utilities and consumers towards net zero.

Della Newton is the Head of Structured Origination at VPI, where she leads the development of long-term structured energy transactions and innovative flexibility products. She specialises in commercial solutions that bridge renewable generation, flexible assets and end-user demand.

Based in the UK, Gemma Hunt brings over 20 years of experience in the energy sector, covering regulation, transformation, customer strategy, and commercial leadership. Having seen firsthand the challenges energy suppliers face when burdened with technology that overpromises and underdelivers, she is driven by the desire to be part of solutions that genuinely make work easier for the teams who rely on them. That drive is what led her to Ferranti. With MECOMS 365, Gemma sees not a prototype but a proven, robust platform shaped by real-world needs and refined through real operational experience. She is passionate about bringing this story to the UK market and demonstrating to energy suppliers that they have a credible alternative—one that challenges the status quo and puts them back in control.
