Against the backdrop, some would say, of short-termism, under investment and technical challenges, you could be forgiven for thinking that UK power businesses are struggling to bring their renewables to the grid.


Yet amid all the uncertainty UK Power Networks have actually been reporting steady, uninterrupted growth in the level of enquiries to do just that! Is this proof, if proof were needed, that the industry is still very much alive and kicking or simply another indication of pent-up demand failing to supply? What are your views?


This IET Conference brings together large and small renewable generators with government and a forward thinking distribution generation operator for a stimulating discussion on current and future plans for renewable generation connection to the grid. The session brings a keynote speaker from the IET Policy Panel, positional statements from an expert panel and, most importantly,
