The 2015 Low Carbon Networks & Innovation Conference provided an opportunity to explore the learning from electricity and gas network innovation projects, the closure of key large scale projects and the final year of LCN funding. The conference also discussed how significant findings and learning from these projects will be transferred to business as usual.
