About the session

Full presentaion title -  The Electric Vehicle Energy Task Force: preparing the electricity system for the mass uptake of EVs and facilitating a multi-stakeholder playing field.

With the UK widely thought to be approaching the tipping point for the mass take up of electric vehicles, the energy networks are poised for the once-in-a-generation rollout of new infrastructure to support charging, with all the investment and innovation that will entail. Meanwhile, new solutions for low-carbon transport are emerging from the gas sector, as well. This session will explore the latest thinking on the decarbonisation of transport and ask, are networks ready?

    Energy Systems Catapult, Power Systems Energy

    Alasdair is a Power Systems Engineer at the Energy Systems Catapult, working to understand the requirements of GB’s future energy system, and identifying, supporting and proposing innovative projects and policies that could help deliver these requirements. His work to date on electric vehicles has examined how they can be integrated with the electricity system, including the potential risks and opportunities that can be unlocked for whole system operability and costs from commercial, technical and social perspectives. He is part of the Electric Vehicle Energy Task Force, working with a range of stakeholders to build a common strategic understanding of the requirements of the energy system to support mass electric vehicle uptake.The Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce has been formed at the request of Government to make suggestions to Government and industry to ensure that the GB energy system is ready for and able to facilitate and exploit the mass take up of electric vehicles.Energy Systems Catapult was set up to accelerate the transformation of the UK’s energy system and ensure UK businesses and consumers capture the opportunities of clean growth. The Catapult is an independent, not-for-profit centre of excellence that bridges the gap between industry, government, academia and research. We take a whole-systems view of the energy sector, helping us to identify and address innovation priorities and market barriers, in order to decarbonise the energy system at the lowest cost.Our Mission is to unleash innovation and open new markets to capture the clean growth opportunity.
