EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE

Designing the sector foundations capable of delivering the energy transition

 

23 October | 11am BST | Online

Exploring how the energy sector can:

  • leverage information and data sharing;
  • drive innovation while maintaining reliability and security;
  • and, implement and embrace digital transformation.

 

As the energy sector faces a digital crossroads, companies must make complex decisions as they modernise legacy systems and business architectures, overcome the struggle of rising costs and risks of stagnation, and manage all of this while operating in an increasingly integrated ecosystem.

This roundtable will explore how to apply digitalisation, data sharing practices, and innovative systems architecture in pragmatic ways so that digital, data and technology investments are impactful and deliver in service of modern market needs for accelerating the transformation of utilities with greater agility and resilience at an affordable cost.

Welcome and participant introductions

Discussion 

  • Assessing the state of systems architecture: what must it look like by 2050 and what does it look like today?
  • Integration and dependencies: for this 2050 vision, how will the way we depend on each others’ systems and services need to have changed?
  • Breaking down barriers: what are the bottom-up practical changes needed to drive coordinated transformation and integration of our systems?
  • Approach: What strategic approaches can we adopt to drive progress against these barriers? Where is collaboration needed?
  • What are the risks to these strategies and how can we mitigate risks to investments?
  • Is regulation fit for purpose? How must it evolve?
  • Call to action: what are the first steps we need to take to begin designing and transforming our systems architecture?
