About the session

The Future Power System Architecture project is addressing what is arguably the biggest challenge Britain's energy sector has ever seen. Externally driven changes are standing the known order on its head, transformative change can be seen in every direction and it's involving new parties, new technologies, new services, multi-vector integration, and institutional change. The learning from the FPSA project is emerging from some six years of work that's engaged with a wide range of stakeholders, involved more than a dozen specialist consultants, and now maintains a database in excess of 1,000 industry contacts. This session will summarise the project, outline the most recent learning, and share some of the joys ...and the pains!
