The Future of Utilities - Overview

The 14th annual Future of Utilities was this year set to a back drop of unprecedented turbulence in global financial markets and the rising pressure of a looming generation gap, thus it was no surprise that these topics emerged as the primary themes of the conference. The CEOs of the Big six all emphasised the importance of investment in new generation capacity, increased demand management and greater regulatory focus and coherence going forward, thoughts that were echoed by speakers from across the sector throughout the conference.

The utilities industry now finds itself at a critical juncture in its development, the scale and scope of which was articulated and debated rigorously at this year's event. How the sector responds to the variety of challenges it faces over the next twelve month will be a matter for discussion at next year's conference but for now, please find the links to this year's conference documentation on the left-hand side of this page.
