Panel Discussion: How can investment create a fairer future?

With the biggest review of energy market arrangements in a decade underway, panellists will look at opportunities and challenges for securing the investment needed to maintain and accelerate our progress towards Net Zero. The discussion will focus on how to maintain the investment crucial to the energy transition, whilst enabling consumers to benefit more directly from the low costs of clean energy. The energy crisis has highlighted that low carbon energy is the cheapest form of domestic generation; the panel will discuss the broader market and investment frameworks needed to realise our transition away from gas, and how this can enable cheaper energy bills from consumers.
