Energy Security 2.0: Wind, Solar, Storage, and the Path to Reliable Energy

Wind now delivers around 37% of UK electricity, and solar is scaling rapidly, reducing reliance on imports. Yet intermittency, grid congestion, and infrastructure delays remain critical challenges for cost and reliability. This session explores what true energy security looks like today and how the system is evolving to meet demand.

• How wind and solar are reshaping exposure to price volatility and imbalance risk
• Where investment in generation and storage is improving system reliability and where gaps remain
• The impact of grid constraints and workforce shortages on delivery and cost
