The UK energy sector stands at a critical juncture. The government is focused on decarbonisation, including Clean Power 2030, but energy transition projects face mounting challenges. Inflation, investor uncertainty, supply chain disruptions and grid connections all pose problems. As a result, major developers are scaling back investments and a number of projects have been cut.

Meanwhile, the hydrocarbon sector confronts its own headwinds. Windfall taxes have undermined North Sea investment confidence, threatening thousands of jobs and energy security. But domestic gas remains crucial for grid balancing and industrial needs.

This panel will examine the stark choices facing energy companies, investors, and policymakers.

• How can the UK navigate between maintaining energy security and achieving net zero ambitions?
• What policy interventions could unlock stalled projects?
• Can traditional energy companies pivot successfully to renewables, or is this work better suited to new energy specialists?

Join industry leaders as they debate the path forward in this pivotal moment for UK energy.
