12.10 Capturing value in a smart and flexible system
This session will hear from businesses playing a leading role in developing solar, storage and EV charging
projects on what models are investable and the practical challenges they face to develop and deliver projects.
Speakers include:

Ben Watts, innovation and solutions director, Engie
15.00 Rethinking the energy system
Focusing on individual technologies is no longer enough, the scale of technological change requires addressing
heat, transport and power and thinking about the whole system from the bottom up. The role of national and
distribution system operators and the development of local energy systems will be central to managing this
complexity and to determining the business models that can capture value.
Speakers include:
Stewart Reid, head of DSO and innovation, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks
Cathy McClay, head of future markets, National Grid System Operator
Chris Clarke, energy strategy director, Wales and West Utilities

The ESN, established in 2008 and now managed by Regen, strongly supports UK companies to
deliver solutions for the GB electricity system and beyond.
We work on behalf of our members to respond to and address issues affecting the development
and utilisation of electricity storage within the GB electricity system. As such, the views of the
ESN are informed by our members and by our mission to promote a smart, flexible energy
system.
If you would like to find out more about joining the ESN,
