As the world races toward net zero, electricity systems are under pressure like never before. The push for cleaner power collides with soaring demand – driven by electrification, population growth, and energy-hungry technologies such as artificial intelligence and data centres. Can we keep the lights on, cut emissions, and keep energy affordable all at once?
This panel brings together experts from academia, industry, and the policy world to debate the forces reshaping the grid of the future. Speakers from LSE, government, and the private sector will explore how digitalisation, renewable integration, and evolving market structures are transforming the way we generate, trade, and consume electricity.
Together, we'll ask: what does a truly sustainable and intelligent grid look like and who gets to design it?
Speakers:
Min-kyeong (Min) Cha
Theresa Chambers
Tim Heal
Spencer Dale
Chair:
Shefali Khanna
