About the session

* Rethinking the institutional architecture of the energy system 

* How will it develop between 2016-2050 and what does that mean for utilities?

* Bridging the ‘valley of death’ – redefining the innovation landscape to bring new technologies to market

'Keynote is special. Regulators, catapults, consultants, technology providers plus of course utility companies all have a vital role to play in the future of utilities. This is your chance to hear from, interact, and influence these stakeholders as they gather to explore the future. It’s a unique chance to discover what a smart, interconnected utility industry will look like, and the commercial opportunities this brave new digital world will create' Ellen Bennet, Editor, Utility Week
