Energy Futures Lab Lecture Series: Laura Sandys CBE

How to Modernise and Optimise the Decarbonised Energy System through Digitalisation

The energy system is currently going through a fundamental transformation, similar to and even more dramatic than how the data system changed from the mainframe system to the world of PC. In this lecture on how digitalisation can optimise and modernise the decarbonised Energy System, Laura Sandys will discuss this transformation, how the new system will be dependant on a significant amount of demand side actions and actors and that only through deep digitalisation will the system stay resilient, effective and fair.

Laura will also touch on how the fall of the current analogue system would offer massive opportunities for the future of green tech as well as new entrants who would get the chance to change the system dramatically.
